Cider Syrup

While Jas read Parent's magazine this morning, I whipped up breakfast.
We started with bacon. Yum!



I then made Kerby Lane Gingerbread Pancakes. You can pick up this mix from your favorite Austin eatery at Central Market. You just add an egg, water, and oil...and you're set.



But the real cooking came with the homemade cider syrup. This is a syrup mom used to make when we had company - she would grate an apple into the normal pancake batter, add a little cinnamon, and serve it along side this syrup. It was always a hit. Now it's a hit in our house!






Cider Syrup:
1 c. sugar
2 T. cornstarch
1/4 t. cinnamon and nutmeg
2 c. apple juice
2 T. lemon juice

Cook until mixture thickens and boils. Boil 1 minute. Remove from heat. Add 1/4 c. butter. Serve over pancakes. Make new friends.

Enjoy!
