Here's some fun ways to spice up your pancakes!

I found these recipes one day on Mr.Breakfast.com when I decided to make breakfast for dinner and wanted a few ways to spice up our pancakes. We just happened to have apple cider in the fridge and I couldn't resist making the cinnamon honey butter to go along with it. Justin loved both, and it was really fun. We had whipped topping with it and it was very good together.

Apple Cider Syrup (15 servings)

[I halved this recipe and it served us more than twice each, but there's only two of us!]

• 2 cups apple cider or apple juice

• 1 cup sugar

• 1/4 cup butter

• 2 Tablespoons cornstarch

• 2 Tablespoons lemon juice

• 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon

• 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg

Mix together sugar, cornstarch, cinnamon and nutmeg in saucepan. Pour in juice (apple and lemon). Cook and stir constantly until thickened and boils. Boil and stir one minute. Remove from heat and stir in butter. Serve warm over pancakes [we found that it is just as delicious served cold (as long as you stir the separated ingredients)].

Cinnamon Honey Butter (16 servings)

[I halved this recipe and it was more than enough]

• 1/2 bup butter, softened

• 1/2 cup confectioners sugar

• 1/2 cup honey

• 1 tsp cinnamon

In a medium bowl, combine butter, confectioners' sugar honey and cinnamon. Beat until light and fluffy.
