pancake syrup

Breakfast stack drizzle

Pancake syrup is a sweet, thick liquid poured over pancakes, waffles, and French toast.

Unlike maple syrup, which comes from tree sap, pancake syrup is typically corn syrup flavored with artificial maple extract—cheaper and more shelf-stable.

The two are often confused or used interchangeably, though purists insist on the real thing.
