Honey Pancake Syrup
Ingredients:
1 cup Honey
1/2 cup Water
1 teaspoon vanilla
Directions:
Heat water in a saucepan over medium heat. Add honey just before boiling. Stir well until combined - DO NOT BOIL. Remove from heat - stir in vanilla. Store in covered jar or syrup dispenser in the refrigerator. Honey can be used straight from the jar on pancakes - but this syrup pours nicely and dilutes the overwhelming sweetness of honey.
