IHOP Quality Pancakes

A few years ago we discovered the secret to IHOP quality pancakes was their syrup. This revelation couldn't have come at a better time. LSO refused to eat homemade pancakes because they didn't taste as good AND he refused to go to IHOP because their service and cleanliness was below par. The amount of whining and complaining was becoming unbearable.

So, in desperation, I asked managers at every IHOP in a 40 mile radius if they would sell me their old fashion pancake syrup. I did find one blessed soul that charged me cost ($8 at the time) for one gallon of syrup. Now LSO has delicious pancakes and all is right in the world. Plus you can't beat an eight month supply of syrup at one dollar per month. Hallelujah! Can I get an Amen?

  1. This is classic. This has to be the most triumphant pancake story I have heard.

    So, speaking of pancakes, I tried a recipe that called for putting in a little white vinegar, and letting the batter sit for a bit, before cooking. They turned out really fluffy.
