Syrups

Its hard to talk about pancakes without thinking about syrup.  Syrup is really something always to be used in moderation.  We have been told to hold the butter and pour on the syrup, but its really the opposite that is true.  Slather on the butter ( organic, grass-fed, raw are all really good options, but at least with only cream and salt as ingredients) and put enough syrup to sweeten things up but not drown the cakes.  Some good options for syrup are:

• Pure maple syrup
• Raw honey
• Molasses
• Fresh berries and bananas
• Peanut butter or other nut butters (so good with sliced bananas and raw honey)
• Fruit syrup  (cook some berries in a bit of water with honey until soft and either blend it up and use it that way, pour it on unblended or strain it and just use the thickened fruit syrup)  I will get an actual recipe out at some point.
