3-Ingredient Brown Sugar Syrup Recipe: A Must for Pancakes or Waffles

Maple syrup is good, but brown sugar lovers will be sweet on this easy brown sugar syrup recipe. Pour it over pancakes, waffles, biscuits or even fried chicken. Anything! 

With just four simple ingredients (that includes the water!), you need to make some for your weekend brunch or breakfast. You will not regret it. 

To make the brown sugar syrup, cook brown sugar and water together in a saucepot on the stovetop. Slowly start adding in the butter, stirring, until everything is melted together. Stir in the vanilla extract and you're done. So simple. And with this syrup, you know what's in it compared to store-bought pancake syrups. Fresh is always best.
