Who’s ready for the weekend? 

Weekends are perfect for a big stack of pancakes drizzled with warm syrup.  Gather the family around the table with some pancakes, sausage, juice and fresh berries.  It’s how I like to kick off the weekends.  And since I’m already flipping pancakes, I usually make more to freeze.  They are great to have on hand for quick heat and go breakfasts during the week.

These tasty pancakes are topped with a warm Brown Sugar Syrup that you just have to try.  Not only is it incredibly easy to make with just water and brown sugar, it is so good.  I make this often and serve it in place of maple syrup, plus it’s cheaper.  It is so much better than the imitation pancake syrup stuff.  

Once you try these sweet and delicious Brown Sugar Pancakes, they may become an everyday favorite.
