Before you get to the sweet stuff, make sure to have real dairy butter on the table. Nothing tastes better than real butter on waffles and pancakes. To be accommodating, you may have a second choice available, such as margarine, to those who cannot have real dairy butter due to health reasons.

The classic standard for pouring over waffles and pancakes is of course, maple syrup. Buy the real stuff if you can. It really tastes so much better than what is commercially available. If you are in a pinch and need to stretch your pancake syrup, mix some light or dark corn syrup in and no on will hardly be able to tell the difference.

Experiment with other popular syrup flavors such as apple cinnamon syrup and blueberry syrup or sauce. Either are great choices to add a special flavor to your pancakes and waffles.

Looking for something different? Try a pear cinnamon caramel dessert sauce on your pancakes or waffles and complement it with a fruit side dish of fresh pears. Delicious!

Or how about trying hot fudge sauce on your waffle or crepe? Who knows? You just might like it better than maple syrup!

Jams, jellies, and preserves are also great as a topping for pancakes and waffles. Just add 3 Tablespoons butter to 8 ounces of jam or jelly and heat to warm. Stir until it is of a spoonable consistency. All are a wonderful alternative to maple syrup.

Be sure to have real whipped cream on hand. The extra 10 minutes it takes to whip the cream will be well worth the compliments your receive!

For even more variety try sliced fruit toppings such as bananas, kiwi fruit, mango, or papaya. Drizzle with maple syrup and get ready for the complements.

Dusting your pancake, crepe, French toast or waffle with powdered sugar finishes your creation and a garnish of fresh fruit or mint leaves always brightens the plate as well.
