Homemade Syrup
Recipe courtesy Tally's Restaurant in Mount Rushmore, SD

This is the syrup Tally's Restaurant uses for their Pancake-Wrapped Buffalo Sausage with Homemade Syrup.

1 quart water
1/2 teaspoon salt
3 pounds sugar
1 cup corn syrup
1 tablespoon maple flavoring

In a large saucepan, combine the water, salt, sugar and corn syrup. Place on the stove over medium-high heat and bring to a slow boil. Continue boiling at medium heat for about 1 1/2 hours until the syrup turns amber-colored.

Remove the syrup from the heat and add the maple flavoring. Ladle over the pancakes. The syrup is best served warm—it can be reheated on the stove or in the microwave.

Yield: 1/2 gallon
