Regular syrup is two cups of sugar to a cup of water. Add 1/2 a stick of butter and boil three minutes. Flavor with your favorite: maple, vanilla, rum...
Fruit syrup is made with frozen apple concentrate and a cup of sugar and a stick of butter. Boil five minutes and add fresh fruit if desired.
Pancake Batter:
I start with whole grain flour - about two cups.
Add everything that sounds good to you: 1/2 cup oats, flax, wheat germ, corn meal, dry cereal, etc.
For every two cups of dry ingredients, add one heaping teaspoon of baking powder, 1/4 cup of oil, an egg, 1/2 teaspoon of salt and milk to the consistency of a milk shake. You can use any milk. Whisk.
Fresh fruit, coconut, nuts, peanut butter, chocolate, onions, bacon all give ordinary pancake batter a real zing.
On a griddle, lightly spray pan coat, and ladle batter on a 400 degree griddle. When bubbles appear AND burst, it's time to flip. You don't have to spray pan coat every batch.
Enjoy!

I've never made my own syrup before, I'll have to try that! We use 100% organic maple syrup, which gets a little pricey...
I love getting and sharing recipes, these are Lincoln's favorite pancakes:
2 cups organic whole wheat flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1.5 teaspoons baking soda
.5 teaspoon sea salt
1 tablespoon honey
2 eggs
1.75 cups milk...(I don't drink cows milk, so I often use almond milk which makes the pancakes a little sweeter!)
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 mashed bananas
I always make a huge batch and freeze them in packs of 2 for a quick breakfast when we are running late!
