For most pancake or waffle breakfasts we use real maple syrup. But on those occasions that we are either out of stock or want something a little different tasting we make our own syrup. It is so easy and by the time it is done we have finished making the rest of the breakfast. You can make it as thick or thin as you like, and the best part besides it great flavor is it doesn't contain high fructose corn syrup like all the store bought kinds. And if you really want to make it superb, make sure to use a great vanilla. We use Totanac's real Mexican vanilla and wish we could lick the pot afterwards. Enjoy!
