Homemade Pancake Syrup
I have been making my own syrup for a while now. We use so much and seem to constantly be running out, plus it can be pretty expensive and I never really found a syrup that was a favorite.
When I visited my cousin, Ginger, we had her homemade syrup and I loved it. It also reminded me of when my mom used to make it, and so I decided to start making my own.
Well, today we found ourselves again with no syrup. I've been meaning to make some for a week or so, but it has just been one of those things that keeps getting pushed to the bottom of the to-do list. The boys insisted on having syrup for their french toast sticks, so I went to make some syrup. We were out of maple flavoring. But we had vanilla, of course, which I thought would work. So I looked online to see if there were people out there making pancake syrup without maple and came across this recipe which looked like it would be good. It is really good.
1 cup sugar
1 cup brown sugar
1 cup corn syrup
1 cup water (3/4 cup if you like your syrup thicker)
1 teaspoon vanilla
Add all ingredients together. Bring to a boil and continue to cook gently for three minutes. In the picture it looks more like caramel, but after it boiled, it looked just like regular pancake syrup.
I read a comment on the recipe that a lady left. She said that she adds 1/2 tsp vanilla, 1/4 tsp butter flavoring, and a few drops of almond extract. Sounds good. I might try that next time.
