Print Recipe

This homemade pancake syrup is sweet, smooth, and perfect for pancakes, waffles, and French toast. Once you try it, you will never want to buy syrup from the store again. 

Ingredients

Scale

1 cup white sugar

1 cup brown sugar

1/2 cup butter, 1 stick 

2/3 cup water

1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract OR 1/2 teaspoon maple extract

Instructions

  1. Combine the ingredients. In a medium saucepan, add the brown sugar, white sugar, and water. Stir well to combine.
  2.  Heat the mixture. Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a gentle boil. Add the butter and stir occasionally until the sugars are completely dissolved and the butter is melted. 
  3. Simmer the syrup. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and let the syrup simmer for 5–7 minutes. Stir occasionally and watch closely to prevent boiling over.
  4. Add vanilla and finish. Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract. The syrup will be thin while hot, but will thicken as it cools.
  5. Cool and serve. Allow the syrup to cool slightly before serving over pancakes, waffles, or French toast.
