How to make your own homemade pancake syrup if you ever run out! This recipe is great to know about for those days when you wake up and decide last-minute to make a big batch of pancakes. You may find that you even like it better than store-bought syrup!
I love discovering that there’s a version of a store-bought staple that can be easily homemade! Pancake syrup is one of those things that I always thought you had to buy from a store and I was pretty excited to find out that I can make my own at home, especially because it’s something we often discover that we’re out of when we decide to make waffles on a Saturday morning. We usually use pure maple syrup, which I know we could also make at home if we decided to tap our maple trees and boil down the sap, but this recipe is a little bit simpler than that. 🙂 This homemade pancake syrup recipe makes a classic table syrup that your family is sure to love.
How to Make Homemade Pancake Syrup
This recipe is made using basic ingredients that most of us will have in the pantry: White sugar, brown sugar, water, and vanilla extract. You can also use maple extract in place of the vanilla if you happen to have that on hand, both are good.
I have some coconut extract in my cupboard that I’m curious to try with this as well. 🙂
If you happen to be out of brown sugar, check out my trick for making my homemade brown sugar as well!
To make the syrup, you’ll just need to mix the ingredients together, microwave them, and allow your syrup to cool slightly. That’s it!
