I love pan cake with maple syrup but when I run out of the syrup, I try to make my own.
There is no maple in this recipe that's why, it is called mock maple syrup.
Ingredients:
1 cup Brown sugar
1/3 cup Water
1/8 ts Salt
1/4 ts Vanilla extract
In a saucepan dissolve sugar in water. Add salt and boil for 1 minute. Add
vanilla and mix well. Serve warm. Yield: 3/4 cup.
Alternative:
1 cup Brown sugar
1 ts Butter
1 cup Boiling water
1/2 ts Vanilla
1/2 c Sugar
1. Combine brown sugar and water and bring to a boil.
2. Caramelize white sugar by heating it in a frying pan until sugar melts
and turns brown.
3. Add brown sugar syrup from step 1; simmer until smooth and thick.
4. Pour into a pitcher containing butter and vanilla.
Enjoy and have fun.
