Homemade Pancake Syrup

This was good. I didn't have maple extract and I forgot to add the vanilla. This definitely has the consistency of the store bought syrups.

Great recipe! I didn't have maple flavor, so I just used vanilla and it was still great. Hubby and 5 kids loved it!

Excellent recipe. Ran out of store bought syrup and I had already made my pancakes. Decided to look for something simple I could whip up and came up with this. My family loved it! Definitely a keeper!

I decided to use this recipe because I'd run out of store bought syrup. My expectations weren't high, but the syrup actually turned out really good. I did add about 1/4 teaspoon salt to balance out the sweet. My only recommendation is that if I make it again I'll use 1 cup of water instead of 3/4 cup. Once it cooled it was too thick.

Fantastic syrup recipe! Only thing I did different was I used 1 tsp of vanilla, as I didn't have any maple. Yum!

I've been thinking I should try homemade syrup because it just doesn't seem right that a product made with sugar and water should contain so many mysterious ingredients and preservatives. I had no choice this morning because I started pancakes before I realized there was just a little bit left in the bottle. I found this recipe to be a GREAT subsitute. It was the same as the store bought stuff in color and texture. I didn't have any maple flavoring but no one in my family knew the difference. It might even be worth puchasing maple flavoring just for this recipe. I haven't done the math but a couple of batches of this probably costs pennies, verses 2 dollars and up for a name brand syrup with very little difference in quality. Plus, there's the benefit of one less processed-food that goes into my kids. This will be made over and over and over in my house.

This was so good - everyone loved it. I used CDT's recommendation and used the almond extract as well. I was so happy to realize the syrup thickens while cooling.

Perfect. Just what I needed. I used almond extract instead of maple, because that is what I had. It turned out great

When I ran out of store bought syrup, I made this as a quick substitute. I didn't have any maple flavoring in the cabinet, but did have banana and rum flavors. Now I have a yummy bananas foster syrup.

This came out perfectly. I changed nothing and doubled the recipe. (We use A LOT of syrup in this house!) This was not hard at all to make and pretty straightforward. Mine thickened up nicely. This will be a nice syrup to have on hand for when we want a change from the Absolute Best Pancake Syrup from this site. I'll never spend $4.00 on a bottle of pre-made pancake syrup again, now I know how easy it is to make at home.
