Homemade Pancake Breakfast Tradition

It’s our tradition on Mother’s Day and Father’s Day to make whatever the honoree wishes for breakfast.

This year for Mother’s Day RancherMan asked what I wanted for breakfast. Usually I want yogurt and fruit, but on this day I wanted Homemade Pancakes.

My homemade pancake recipe is super easy and results in light, fluffy pancakes. So it’s only right to have this super-easy homemade maple-flavored pancake syrup to go with it.

I wanted MY syrup to go with the pancakes, not the store-bought stuff.

So I whipped up a batch of homemade pancake syrup beforehand to go with those delicious fluffy pancakes.

Simple Homemade Pancake Syrup Ingredients

First I gather the simple homemade pancake syrup ingredients:

- - 3/4 cup brown sugar,
  - 1/4 cup granulated sugar,
  - 3/4 cup water,
  - 1/4 cup honey (can use 1/2 cup corn syrup instead)
  - 1/2 teaspoon *Maple Flavoring
  - 1/2 teaspoon Vanilla extract.

I love that it contains such SIMPLE ingredients! (I found maple flavoring at Amazon.com, affiliate link above)

…and then in only 7 minutes…

Making The Homemade Pancake Syrup

Here’s how easy it is to make my own pancake syrup:

I dump everything except the maple & vanilla into a small saucepan and turn the heat on medium high.

I stir to dissolve the sugars & combine the ingredients completely. When it begins to boil I set the timer for 7 minutes and continue boiling, stirring constantly.
