After I made buttermilk syrup, I started to think about making my own "maple" syrup. I knew it was a possibility, I had just never tried it before. Then reader Halli shared her family's favorite recipe, and that sealed the deal. I haven't bought syrup at the store for weeks now!
Pancake Syrup
1/2 cup white sugar
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup water
1/4 teaspoon maple flavoring
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
Cook sugars and water on medium high heat until almost boiling and clear. Remove from heat and stir in the maple and vanilla. Store in an air tight container in the fridge.
Just like with the buttermilk syrup, a little goes a long way. It is very sweet, and probably runnier than the syrup you buy at the store, but it only takes a minute to make! And there's no corn syrup!
Thanks again, Halli.

Thanks for this! Like you, I don't really care for Maple Syrup (and the price! Sheez.) My husband insists on in for himself and the kids, but it sounds like this recipe might be more up my alley :) and no corn syrup!
