A few notes:


You can use as much as 3 cups of sugar, and you can also let the simple syrup boil for longer for a thicker pancake syrup. Also, you can start with 2 teaspoons of maple flavoring and see if that tastes mapley enough for you (3 teaspoons = 1 tablespoon). Since you are making it you can customize it to the tastes of your family!
