We're having sprinkle pancakes for breakfast.

How about you?

(Full disclosure, the 2.5 year old started off with hot dish, he insisted.)

Made some Thursday night on the griddle. My 6 year old daughter loves them. Especially with a few chocolate chips dropped in before I flipped them. I think I'm the only one that used Karo as syrup.

Our boys campaign pretty hard for frosting, but I won't do that. It's just too much sugar to start the day.

I know a guy who makes maple syrup. It's pretty delicious, everything from pancakes to coffee to baked beans.

When my kids were little, the sprinkles were reserved for cinnamon toast....or ice cream.

And now you eat them on anything you please, right?

I got some hickory syrup as a gift recently - and didn’t actually know that was a thing.  But it’s delicious - especially in coffee or on ice cream. its got a nice smoky flavor.

Me neither. That's pretty interesting, and makes me wonder what other tree sap could be syrupized.

New one on me.

I made a double batch of pancakes for breakfast New Year's Day.  I like peanut butter or whatever fruit preserves we have open on them. Sometimes both.

I recently introduced my 18 month old granddaughter to pancakes . . . she will love me forever!

I think they use the bark.

I found the syrup we have - I got it at a dirty Santa exchange:

I make a couple of gallons every year.

Happy to post the instructions, if anyone's interested!

I'm interested I made maple syrup as a kid...I'm interested to see if the process is similar. 

 

Thanks!

Not so buddy. I didn't know there was anything else till into my teens. lol That's what my grandparents baked with...forever.

There may be a bottle left around here from my late mother's cooking and baking, but I always thought it too heavy and sugary. So we have had several different brands of lite Maple syrup, Aunt Jemimah's and the like.
