Maple Syrup

Preparation

1. Need some, have none

   For baking, you can substitute sugar: 1 cup sugar plus 2 tablespoons liquid appropriate for the dish would equal the sweetness and moisture of 3/4 cup maple syrup. Of course, it will not have the same flavor, so if you have maple flavoring on hand, add some. If you need maple syrup for pancakes, you can try the following syrup recipe. It won’t taste as good as real maple syrup (keep in mind that fruit, fruit sauce, chocolate sauce, peanut butter and honey, and jam are all great spooned, spread, or poured over pancakes), but it will coat your pancakes in sticky sweetness.
