This is my mother-in-law's recipe. She makes the world's BEST maple syrup (well unless maybe you like the freshly tapped stuff, but I don't like that stuff- too sweet and rich for my taste!) It makes A LOT- just a warning.
Pancake/Waffle mix:
10 cups flour
1/2 cup sugar
8 teaspoons baking soda
4 teaspoons salt
Mix all this together really well. Like with a wire whip or even your mixer.
When desired add some of this mix to some milk and egg. Like 2 eggs and 2 cups of milk with enough mix to the right consistency.
This makes lots of mix and stores really well in a container of some sort (like an old ice cream bucket). Or cut it down if you want less.
***NOTE - You can make the above with a variety of whole grain flours. Like about half whole wheat and then some soy, rye, buckwheat, rice, whatever flours. Then use raw sugar instead. It's wonderful. This kind needs to be stored in the freezer so it won't go bad. Add some blueberries for yumminess. But not to waffles they will ruin your waffle iron.
Syrup:
(again a huge recipe so adjust if desired)
14 cups white sugar
1 cup brown sugar
7 cups water
stir this and bring to a gentle boil. reduce heat to low and cover with lid. Simmer for 10 minutes.
remove from heat and add
3 Tablespoons of mapleliene flavoring
3 Tablespoons of vanilla (imitation is fine)
Store this in the fridge in an old plastic jug or a jar of some kind. This amount fills up a gallon jug.
