  • 1 cup water
  • 1 teaspoon maple extract

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Combine 1 cup granulated sugar, 1 cup brown sugar, and 1 cup water in a medium saucepan.
  2. Bring to a boil over medium high heat, stirring occasionally. Let it boil for about 90 seconds, stirring.
  3. Remove from heat and let cool for 2 or 3 minutes, stirring. Add 1 teaspoon maple extract, 1 tablespoon butter, and a little pinch of salt.
  4. Let cool completely; the syrup will thicken as it cools. Heat it up again for serving, if you like. Serve over pancakes and waffles!
  5. Store the syrup in a sealed jar in the fridge. Reheat in the microwave or on the stovetop when you want to serve it again!
