The Perfect Pancakes with Homemade Syrup


Pancakes with Homemade Syrup

For the pancakes:

3 cups cake flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
3 tablespoons baking powder
3 tablespoons sugar
2 cups whole milk
1 extra-large egg
3 teaspoons vanilla
5 tablespoons butter

For the syrup:

1 cup water
1 cup sugar
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup light corn syrup
2 tablespoons vanilla

To make the pancakes:

Mix the dry ingredients together in a large bowl.  In a separate bowl, mix together the milk, egg, and vanilla.  Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, and mix well.  Melt the butter and add to the mixture.  Combine well.  Grease a skillet over medium heat.

Cook the pancakes on one side until bubbly all over.  This is when you will need to flip them.

Flip and cook on the other side until done.  Slather with butter and syrup.

To make the syrup:

Combine all of the syrup ingredients in a pan and bring to boil.  Boil for 10-15 minutes or until the mixture is thick and resembles a syrup-like consistency.
