My Gramma has always made her own syrup out of brown sugar and water. Whenever we would visit as kids, Gramps would make us all customized pancakes (I usually got a letter "J") and Gramma would be busy at the stove whisking the syrup. This is a great, simple recipe that costs only around $1 or so to make.

Recipe makes 2 cups
Ingredients

Enjoy!
easy peasy! I think my grandma did something similar but boiled it longer (to the soft ball stage) and we poured it on the snow, because we're French dontcha know?!
