Pecan Pie Pancake Syrup

Ingredients

• 1/2 cup water
• 1/2 cup white sugar
• 1/2 cup brown sugar
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 3 tablespoons butter
• 2 eggs
• 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
• 1/2 cup chopped pecans

Directions

Heat water in a saucepan over medium-low heat; cook and stir white sugar into hot water until dissolved, about 5 minutes. Stir brown sugar and salt into the sugar mixture until dissolved; stir in butter.

Whisk eggs and vanilla together in a bowl until smooth; stir 2 to 3 tablespoons hot sugar mixture into eggs, 1 tablespoon at a time, to slowly bring eggs up to temperature without cooking them. Slowly stir egg mixture into saucepan of sugar mixture. Fold in pecans.

Increase temperature to medium heat; cook and stir mixture until thickened and bubbling, about 5 minutes. Reduce heat to low before serving.
