Absolute Best Pancake Syrup

"Oh. My. Goodness. Is this good! If I could add more stars than five, I totally would. I am SO glad that I attempted this recipe. I was skeptical at first, but blown away when I tasted the end results..." See more. Never again will I use bought syrup. It's not like your typical bottled syrup. It's more like a liquid cinnamon roll. It's truly amazing, and you really can't understand unless you try for yourself. The only thing I changed was upped the cinnamon to 1/2 tsp. I like my foods a little stronger on the spice side. I freaked out after I added the baking soda, because it foamed up quite a bit. (I didn't read the reviews beforehand so I wasn't expecting this.) After pouring in into the container and letting it cool in the refrigerator, then shaking it up, it was thicker and the syrup was more uniform in color. Thank you times infinity for the person who submitted this recipe."

"I have such a mixed opinion on this one. I agree with everyone else about the wonderful flavor. I also agree about using a pot twice as big as needed because of the foaming after you add the b.soda...." See more The foam took about 30 minutes to go away after the syrup was done. However - despite the great flavor - I could taste a slightly "carbonated" aftertaste of the baking soda. I had to refrigerate this syrup and wait until the next morning to reheat it in the microwave - then this baking soda taste was gone. I would recommend preparing this the day before you have guests over. Otherwise it does have the flavor everyone else says it does!"

"All right, this is seriously the best syrup ever. No more store bought ever again. But there are a few things you should know when making it - first of all, when I first put the ingredients in the p..." See moreot, the milk curdled and looked gross and it took a little while for it to set up correctly (just a minute really, but I thought it would be faster to go from curdled looking to syrup looking and was worried that I had messed it up). I also read the other reviews that mentioned how thin it ends up, so I took 1 tsp of cornstarch and added just enough water to make it liquid, then added it to the mix when I added the baking soda. It was very foamy but still delicious. My kids loved it. I ended up eating a little later (you know, get them off to school and then get a chance to eat some waffles myself) and by that time, the syrup had cooled off, thickened up to about the same as store syrup, and lost all the frothiness. We'll see whether it will become a gel when it cools off completely - I tried to use just a little cornstarch to avoid that. But whatever the form, frothy, syrupy or gel - this stuff is delicious. It does not taste like store bought stuff, but rather a buttery cinnamon syrup. Much better and I didn't have to butter the waffles before the syrup because the butter was already in there! All in all, a great recipe that will get written into my favorites recipe book."
