How to Make Cinnamon Pancake Syrup
This is one of the easiest recipes, which is a major plus because once you taste it, you’ll want to enjoy it on repeat. In just 5 minutes, you’ll have sweet, cinnamon deliciousness ready to drizzle over all of your favorite breakfast treats! Here’s how:
Let it Cool: Be sure to give the mixture about 5 minutes to cool before adding in the vanilla and evaporated milk. Otherwise, they could burn and give off an unpleasant flavor. Thick or Thin: If you’d like to make the syrup a bit thicker, simmer longer, allowing more of the water to cook off. On the other hand, if you’d like to thin it out, you can add a small amount of water, 1 tbsp at a time, until it reaches the desired consistency. Pumpkin Spice Syrup: To give this syrup a fall flavor, try swapping the cinnamon for pumpkin pie spice. It would be especially delicious served with these pumpkin spice pancakes. Other Ways to Serve: You really can’t go wrong serving this on all kinds of sweet foods. Try it over ice cream, cake, cinnamon rolls, crepes, or even oatmeal!
