But on the practical side, I wouldn't shed a tear if Aunt Jemima syrup disappeared altogether. It's just brown-colored high fructose corn syrup with artificial flavoring. You can do a lot better with real maple syrup.

BTDT!

But, no. When reading this, keep in mind that I tend towards problem solving and pragmatism.

Years ago, when ordering breakfast in a restaurant, it would often include a stack of flap jacks on the side, often brought out on one of those dinky plates that will fit on a crowded breakfast table and make the flap jacks look bigger than they really are.

As a syrupholic, I start pouring and the syrup would run off the flap jacks and waterfall off the edges of the dinky plate, and make a big mess that caused everyone to grab their drinks and side plates and shift into evermore cramped spaces, and I was chastised often enough that I decided to come up with a solution.

The Syrup Well is what I call it.

Basically, I first smear the butter on every flap jacks, then use the fork to cut out the center of the stack. Pour the syrup in the "well" until it starts to overflow, then eat the edges of the well. The syrup will start to soak into the surrounding walls and the syrup level will drop. Once the syrup level drops, simply refill as needed. No fuss, no mess, nobody complaining...basically I eat the flap jacks from the inside out with a ton of syrup, and those who eat with me have fun giving me grief...but who can get upset when you have a mouthful of syrup-soaked flap jacks.
