Create a delightful homemade maple-flavored syrup with a rich and smooth taste, perfect for pancakes, waffles, or any breakfast treat.
In a medium saucepan, combine the granulated sugar and dark brown sugar.
Using a mix of sugars adds depth to the flavor.
Add the hot water to the saucepan and stir until the sugars are dissolved.
Ensure the water is hot to help dissolve the sugars quickly.
Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer and cook for 2-3 minutes.
Simmering helps to slightly thicken the syrup.
Remove from heat and stir in the maple flavoring.
Add the flavoring off the heat to preserve its aroma.
Let the syrup cool slightly before transferring to an airtight container for storage.
Allowing the syrup to cool prevents condensation in the container.
Serve the syrup warm over your favorite breakfast dishes.
Warm syrup enhances the flavor of your dishes.
