Thanks to having a diabetic sister, I grew up on store-bought
sugar-free syrup, and I loved it. That’s probably also where my love for diet
soda came from. To me there was nothing better than the thick, butter-flavored
sugar free syrup drenching a plate full of my mom’s homemade crepes. Then I
married my husband and I discovered that his mom had always made homemade syrup,
and it’s not even difficult to make!
Hold up, you can make maple syrup? I was shocked that this
was possible without going out and tapping a sugar maple. Not only does it
taste great, but it’s also easy to switch up the flavors. I recently tried this
slight variation with brown sugar (I have a slight obsession with brown sugar) and
I really liked it!
Another great thing about this recipe is that you might already
have everything you need in your kitchen cupboards, and if not, a quick trip to
the store and a few dollars will have you pouring this delicious, homemade
syrup over your short stack in no time! Get the recipe //here//.
What kind of syrup do you like? Have you ever made your own?
The pancakes look nice and fluffy and the smell of hot syrup is definitely now in my nose. Looks very yummy!
ReplyDeleteAaaaand now I'm craving pancakes!!! :)
ReplyDeleteI know, pancakes are good any time of day. ;)
DeleteI'm not much of a sweets or pancake person but you may have just changed that for me! Good to know you can substitute, too!
ReplyDeleteAh man, pancakes are the best! Maybe you just haven't had any that have been good enough yet. ;)
DeleteNow I want to make some maple syrup and waffles!
ReplyDeleteHaha, me too... again. :)
DeleteI had no idea that you could make maple syrup this way...I grew up around the tree tapping way. ;-)
ReplyDeleteThat's awesome! I'd love to learn how to make real maple syrup!
