Heat the three ingredients in a sauce pan until hot and bubbly over medium heat; Remove from heat

You are probably going to need a tall glass of milk or a big cup of coffee to go with this. What a wonderful use of calories!
*Helpful hint:
I don’t keep buttermilk on hand. But regular milk with a teaspoon or so of vinegar or lemon juice will work just as well. Allow milk to “clabber” as we say in the south before using it in your recipe. Twill only take a few seconds.
I’ll try to add a picture later when life slows down. Better not sit and wait for that to happen = )
