Quick, easy to use in a pinch. I halved the recipe and left out the maple extract. Worked great!

We have a pancake breakfast after our sunrise service on Easter Sunday. My contribution is homemade syrup for 100+. I just made this recipe and used my homemade vanilla. This tastes great and is already a hit! It was easy and cheaper than the store bought stuff and I know what the ingredients are!!!

Change it to 1c brown, 1c white sugar and throw in a tab of butter at the end and this tastes exactly like Mrs. Butterworth's.. except without all the High Fructose Corn Syrup...

This recipe was a lifesaver this morning as I realized at the last minute that I was out of syrup for my kids' pancakes. This made enough to fill just over half of a plastic syrup bottle. To get the butter flavored taste that my kids and husband like, I added a teaspoon of butter flavoring. I also upped the maple flavoring to a full teaspoon. Don't go into this recipe expecting real maple syrup. That's not what this is. My mom made this same recipe for us when we were kids only because she didn't want to pay for processed maple syrup AND we'll, the homemade syrup just tastes better. It's not the real deal, but if you need a maple syrup in a pinch, this works just fine. NOTE: Because I've made homemade pancake syrup before, I suggest you cook this recipe a little longer to thicken it up a bit. Three minutes is not enough for me, just under ten minutes was just right for me.

This was in no way syrup. It was sugar water.

I liked this recipe. For a quick fix for breakfast I think it's perfect. For those that claimed it was too sweet, I would suggest adding butter to your taste while cooking....maybe a tad of nutmeg too.

The flavour of this was good, but I think I may have cooked it too long, as soon as it cooled a bit it got hard lol. I'm sure it was my error. Great to have on hand when I'm out of syrup, like today.

This syrup is delicious! I love maple syrup on my pancakes and I wouldn't change a thing with this recipe. It's so simple to make and it tastes much better than the store bought kind.

I thought it was really good. Most of the reviews said it was "too sweet", but I didn't find it any sweeter than the garbage you buy in the store. I like it because it is versatile and you can add spices and/or extracts. My only recommendation would be to let it cook a little longer so that it becomes thicker. Good stuff!
