When I was little and we went to Granny and Gramp's house, pancakes were always high on my list of hoped-for food items. Not so much because of the pancakes, but because of the syrup. Aunt Jemima ain't got nuttin' on my Granny.
When I went home a couple of weeks ago, my mom gave me a copy of our church cookbook. When she was choosing recipes, my sister contributed her Taco Soup, I added Meredith's Keilbasa Soup, and we tossed in a couple of other family favorites, like Mom's Depression Cake. At my insistence, Mom added the recipe for Granny's syrup.
Then my Mom went above and beyond and made the syrup for breakfast the next morning. You want to know how good the syrup is??? My sister showed up and - even though she had already eaten breakfast - she had Mom make a couple of pancakes so she could eat the syrup. THAT is good.
So, here you go. Enjoy! And don't try to substitute anything for the cream... suck it up and go for a walk after breakfast.
Granny's Syrup
1 c brown sugar
1 c white sugar
1 c cream
Stir over medium heat until bubbly. Remove and serve. Leftovers can be refrigerated - then warm in microwave to serve.

Okay, consider me sold.
That's not syrup--that's caramel! Holy pancakes, Batman-- no wonder you loved 'em. I'm not sure my small monsters are going to get any inkling of this as a breakfast possibility, in part because of the danger that the only one who'll be eating it is ME, and I definitely don't need it. But oh, my--YUM.
