Ingredients:
Quantity | Ingredient |

3/4 cup | Brown sugar |
3/4 cup | White sugar |
1 cup | Water |
1 cup | Corn syrup |
3 tsp | Vanilla flavoring |
Instructions:

Boil sugars and water together:
- In a saucepan, combine the brown sugar, white sugar, and water.
- Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a boil, stirring occasionally until the sugars are completely dissolved.
-
Add corn syrup and flavorings, to taste:
- Once the sugar-water mixture comes to a boil, stir in the corn syrup.
- Continue to cook the mixture, stirring constantly, until it reaches your desired consistency. This usually takes about 5-7 minutes.
- Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the vanilla flavoring.
- Taste the syrup and adjust the flavorings as needed. You can add more vanilla for a stronger flavor or experiment with other extracts like almond or maple for a different twist.
-
Serve and Enjoy:
- Allow the syrup to cool slightly before serving.
- Pour the warm syrup over your favorite pancakes, waffles, or French toast.
- Store any leftover syrup in a sealed container in the refrigerator for up to two weeks.
Tips and Variations:
- Customize the Flavor: Feel free to experiment with different flavorings to create your own unique syrup. Try adding almond extract, maple extract, or even a splash of bourbon for a delicious twist.
- Texture Adjustment: If you prefer a thicker syrup, simply cook it for a few minutes longer until it reaches your desired consistency. On the other hand, if you prefer a thinner syrup, you can add a little more water to the mixture.
- Storage: Store any leftover syrup in a sealed container in the refrigerator. It will thicken slightly as it cools, so you can reheat it gently in the microwave or on the stove before serving.
