Ingredients

  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 1 tablespoon orange zest from 1-2 navel oranges
  • 3/4 cup orange juice from 2-4 navel oranges
  • 2 teaspoons cornstarch
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1/4 cup heavy cream

Instructions

  • In a small saucepan over medium heat, whisk together the water and sugar until the sugar is dissolved and then bring to a boil over medium-high heat.
  • Meanwhile, in a small bowl or measuring cup, combine the orange juice and cornstarch. Whisk this into the water sugar mixture. Lower the heat to medium and simmer the syrup until it thickens slightly, about 10-15 minutes.
  • Whisk in the butter, orange zest, and cream until well-combined and you have a creamy syrup. Let cool or serve warm with pancakes or waffles.
