My family loves pancakes!
So the other day I fixed blueberry pancakes. When I went to get the syrup out of the cabinet, I found that we only had enough syrup for one person! How could we eat pancakes without syrup?
I remembered that I had seen somewhere a recipe for homemade syrup. I found the recipe and made some for us.
They loved it! And I was saved from being a really bad mom by not having syrup for the family favorite!
I was shocked at how simple and cheap it was!
Homemade Syrup
1 3/4 c. white sugar
1/4 c. brown sugar
1 c. water
1/2 tsp. vanilla
1/2 tsp. maple flavoring
Combine sugar and water in saucepan. Boil for 1 to 3 minutes until it is the right thickness. Then add flavorings and serve.
When I realized just how easy this was I decided to see how cheap it was. So here is the breakdown.
Store bought syrup...........24 oz.........................$1.49
Homemade syrup.............24 oz.........................$0.60
Savings...........................................................$0.89
This may not seem like a lot, but when you buy about 6 to 10 bottles a year it adds up! Plus I know what's going into the syrup.
Check it out and let me know what you think...

What a cool recipe! We're kind of salt-tooth instead of sweet-tooth people so we skirt syrup at all costs :)
