Pancakes
- 1 recipe Homemade Fluffy Pancake Mix
Strawberry Maple Syrup
- 3 cups diced strawberries
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 3 tablespoons orange juice
- 2 tablespoons water
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 1/2 cup maple syrup
Instructions
- Prepare Pancakes: Make your pancakes according to your homemade fluffy pancake mix instructions. Once cooked, place them in the oven on a warm setting to keep them heated while you prepare the syrup.
- Cook Strawberries: In a saucepan, add diced strawberries, granulated sugar, orange juice, and water. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the berries break down and the mixture thickens, about 10 minutes.
- Strain Mixture: Place a fine mesh strainer over a bowl and press the strawberry mixture through to remove seeds and pulp, creating a smooth syrup base.
- Mix Syrup: Whisk the vanilla and maple syrup into the strained strawberry liquid until well combined.
- Serve: Pour the strawberry maple syrup generously over the warm pancakes. For a dramatic Halloween effect, stab a knife through the top of the pancake stacks to mimic stabbing blood.
