Homemade Syrup

I have just never bought syrup, it is so simple to make and tastes so much better. So here is my mom's recipe which was her mom's recipe and so on.

bring to a boil
1 c Brown Sugar
1 c White Sugar
1 c Water

then add
1 capful of vanilla
I sometimes add both vanilla and maple flavorings.

If you want more then just double. So simple!

Perfect Pancakes

Bisquick is really expensive here in the UK so I had to improvise and found this yummy way easy recipe for pancakes. This was enough to serve the kids and me, so I suggest doubling it.

Mix dry ingredients
4¾oz plain flour
1 tsp baking powder
½ tsp salt
2 tbsp caster sugar

then add:
1 large egg, lightly beaten
2 tbsp melted butter (allowed to cool slightly) or olive oil
enough milk to make it a pancake batter.

Play Dough

I found this on the internet and I think it is the best play dough I have ever made. It is a great rainy/snowy day activity!

3 C flour
1/3 C Salt
2 TBL Vegetable Oil
Mix together then add:

1 C water
Food coloring (we used koolaid and it worked great)
