 Pancake question from my non-member roommate My roommate poses this question:
"Where can I get effing pancakes in this city?" We were talking about IHOP this morning. I told her to make her own pancakes but she replied, "there's got to be maple syrup!"

Breakfast Syrup Recipe My aunt gave me this recipe before we moved here and it is really really good.
Breakfast Syrup:
1 Cup white sugar
1Cup brown sugar
1 Cup water
Bring all ingredients to a boil. Allow to cool. Can be stored in fridge for at least a week (we always finish if off in that time, it may keep longer!)

There is maple syrup here - pricey, but it's available. Tell her to try Migros or Carrefour.

Kahvedan in cihganir. Pancakes aren't exactly right, but close enough and they have a reasonable fascimile of syrup.

Why pay money for pancakes? Betty Crocker buttermilk pancakes work just as well as home here..... (add lemon juice to the milk)
