Last night my family decided to have a nice breakfast for Dinner. We had pancakes, sausage, and scrambled eggs. Yumm! So as I was finishing cooking all this, I grabbed the syrup. (cue dramatic music here! DUM DUM DUM!)And we had about 1/4 of a cup left. I know we have all done this. So I grabbed a small pot. Added about 1 1/2 cups water, and waited for it to get to a gentle boil. I added about 1 1/2 cups white sugar, 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla, and added what maple syrup I had. I let it boil until all the granules of sugar where gone. Let it cool a little bit, and wha-la! Pancake syrup!.
Let me tell you, I was skeptical. I thought I just ruined what little good syrup we had in the house. But, I didn't! It was very thin. However the flavor was great. And, because it was so thin, it absorbed immediately into the pancakes. Everyone agreed this is how we do syrup now! So I should be able to get two bottle of syrup for one now! you really can't beat it!
A hint, If you like a thicker syrup, use and extra cup of sugar and let it boil a little longer. not to long though or you will end up with rock candy!
If this is your first time at my blog, and you are worried about you super picky kids and using this money saving tip, Mine are 3 1/2 and 8. They looked at me like I was crazy for a minute. But they of course tried it because it's pancakes and they LOVED it! They preferred it even! So give it a try! Don't forget to subscribe please!
God Bless! Have a Happy Thursday!
