Aunt Jamima has no place in my pantry. Yes, she is a lovely guest to have as an empty container filled with a stem or two of fresh sunflowers in the summer kitchen. But when it comes to drowning waffles or pancakes in sugar, my kids have politely asked her to leave the premises.
We call our breakfast confection Mom's Sticky Syrup. It's so easy to make and mmmm-mmmm good!
3 cups granulated sugar
1-1/2 cups water
3 T. molasses
1 tsp. vanilla
2 tsp. butter flavoring
2 tsp. maple flavoring
Bring water, sugar, and molasses to a boil. Simmer 5 minutes. Add flavorings. Cool and put in a container with a sealable lid suitable for pouring.
Yes, we're bad parents. We feed this to the children then send the happy, bouncing-off-the-walls kiddos off to school to let the teachers work out the kinks. (It's causing school officials to threaten to take away my MAMA award...)

This looks super yummy. I've been wanting to make pancake syrup for awhile now. This recipe is perfect. Thank you! Question, though - how long do you think it keeps in the refrigerator?
This recipe does look easy and delicious. Thanks for posting it. Really should correct the spelling for Aunt Jemima though.
