Maple Syrup Crystals

Great for sprinkling into pancakes or onto muffins/cookies and other treats. Be very careful not to burn yourself. Great when used in Mock Mcgriddle Use real maple syrup - pancake syrup is watered down and just wont crystallize the same! There is NO REAL USE for the water in the ingredients list, don't mix water in! I just needed two ingredients to post the recipe

• Ready In: 20 mins
• Serves: 20
• Yields: 1/2 cup crystals

Ingredients

• 1⁄2 cup maple syrup
• 1  cup water

Directions

1. Pour syrup in pre-heated skillet over medium flame.
2. When bubbly, stir constantly and cook another 4 minutes.
3. Pour into silicone baking pan (never tried anything else, so use something else at your own caution shouldn't be enough to fill entirely, you need room to work it).
4. before completely cooled (but no longer scalding!) gently stretch out to thin and add air into it.
5. It should be a tacky taffy/candy like consistency at this time.
6. Pull into a long thin rod (or a couple rods - no science here).
7. Once hardened, crack and store in a air tight container - store in a cool place.
8. Sprinkle on things as you please!
