But Carmen Sandiego got away again to continue her career of villainy. Still, it's nice to hear that "the strategic reserve of maple syrup will be returned to the grateful people of Canada".

Pssh. I've always preferred my pancakes with nothing but a little butter on them. If they aren't good that way, get a better batter. Admittedly, I've never had Real Maple Syrup, but even if it's leagues better than whatever Aunt Jemima is oozing, I'd still probably consider it superfluous to the taste of a good pancake in and of itself. I'm more interested in applying maple syrup to my breakfast sausages or maybe some toast.

Leagues don’t even come close to the difference. Seriously. Even if you don't like it on your pancakes or waffles, real maple syrup is astronomically better than the process junk.

Accept no substitutions.


As for the unsweetened pancakes, I agree. Try maple cupcakes though. Or REAL maple candy... yummmmm....

The only thing better, on pancakes, than Maple Syrup is a combination of Crispy Aromatic Duck, Spring Onion, Cucumber and Hoi Sin source. But that's a whole other thing really.

*Drool* This sounds amazing, you wouldn't happen to have a recipe by any chance?

Personally, I like my pancakes most with some custard.

Or double-layered and with cheese.

I always assumed it was Chinese, but apparently not.

Ed: Recipe, but I normally just buy it from the supermarket.

I like my pancakes with spinach and cream cheese, or with bolognese.

I've been known to vary up my maple syrup (always bought from stalls on the side of a highway) with strawberry jam, or apple syrup.

I've a confession to make...... I don't actually like pancakes. The texture just doesn't work for me.

Love me a good waffle though.

Ah Waffle, with Strawberries and Vanilla Yoghurt
Blueberries and Raspberries work fine too.

I like pancakes with fresh and juicy blueberries cooked into them. I put syrup on them, but it doesnt really need it if you got good blueberries for it.

I forgot. I made some pretty damn amazing vanilla pancakes filled with various fruit.

In my town there's a great restaurant called Hell's Kitchen, whose pancakes and waffles are both amazing. The batter has cornmeal in it, among other things. They are a prime example of my tendency to eschew (fake) maple syrup, though I would try strawberry or apple syrup gleefully if those were complementary.
