Tips & Substitutions
For a smoother syrup, ensure to whisk the flour thoroughly with the sugar before adding hot water. If you're out of margarine, you can substitute with butter or a non-dairy alternative for vegan recipes. Adjust the cinnamon to your taste; more can enhance the flavor significantly. This syrup also complements pancakes made with hearty grains or even with Snakie'S Booze Balls.
