I compared pancake syrup from 6 brands to see which tasted better.
The Target brand was bland and the Kroger brand was sweet.
Pearl Milling Company and Log Cabin were my favorite ones.
There are a lot of different pancake syrups to choose from at the store.
I don't pay much attention to the different types of pancake syrup at the grocery store, but if I'm feeling fancy, I might buy a butter-flavor variety.
I only use real maple syrup for baking. Pancake syrup can be found on the breakfast table.
To compare the taste, texture, and price of each product, I bought six brands.
I tried them all on a waffle.
At the end of the taste test, I decided to give a low-cost bottle of real maple syrup another try.
This is how everything stacked up.
There was a rich flavor, but a thinner texture.
I got to sample Mrs. Butterworth's.
The syrup was medium brown and not the lightest.
As I poured, I noticed a thinner consistency that left long, stringy drips as I pulled the bottle away.
It was pretty sweet but not overly so. There were notes of butter even though it was not butter-flavoring.
The syrup was good for me.
I didn't like Mrs. Butterworth's, but I did like her other work.
I liked the taste but the texture was a little thinner than I wanted.
It was more expensive than the store brand syrups.
Kroger's maple syrup was the sweetest I've ever tasted.
Generic or store-brand products are usually better quality and less expensive than store brand products.
I tried Kroger's pancake syrup and it wasn't as good as I thought.
It had a dark color.
It was not bad, but it was very sweet. There was not a lot of depth to the flavor.
I don't think the syrup is too sweet.
This syrup is definitely affordable. There aren't any interesting notes to the taste.
It isn't rich or deep. I was not a fan of the thin consistency.
You may be a bigger fan of Kroger's syrup if you are looking for a sugar rush.
I didn't like the pancake syrup from Target.
My least favorite pancake syrup was at Target.
It was a bit lighter in color than Kroger's, but it was the same consistency.
It wasn't as sweet, but it was bland. There was a bitter taste about it.
This syrup was not my favorite.
Kroger's brand was less expensive than the Target brand.
It didn't have the flavor I was looking for.
The texture and taste were perfect.
The most expensive pancake syrup I tested was $0.25 an ounce from Pearl Milling Company, which is less expensive than a bottle of real maple syrup.
The flavor was great and it was very thick. It was rich but not too sweet.
I was surprised that this syrup had a lower sugar content. It had 15 grams, slightly more than the Log Cabin syrup, but less than all the others I tried.
This syrup was very good.
I liked the rich flavor of the pancake syrup. It wasn't pretty.
It was easy to pour on my breakfast despite its thick consistency. It can be very expensive at 0.25 an ounce.
There is a bottle of Hungry Jack's pancake syrup.
There was only one type of Hungry Jack syrup that I could sell at my store.
I didn't want to give anyone an unfair advantage.
The bottle's design was interesting but it took up more space in my pantry. I noticed a cute spout when I opened it, but it turned out to be a mess.
The texture was very dense and dark.
It wasn't bad but it was sweet. I didn't like the taste of it, but it wasn't as overpowering as Kroger syrup.
I probably wouldn't buy it again even though I didn't like it.
The price of Hungry Jack was less than the price of gold.
The syrup was not as good as some of the cheaper alternatives I tested.
Kids might get a kick out of the shape of the bottle.
Log Cabin's does not have high-fructose corn syrup.
The Log Cabin pancake syrup has no high fructose corn syrup on it's label. Corn syrup is included in the ingredients.
I wanted to know how the flavor of the other syrups would be affected by having both. According to the FDA, high-fructose corn syrup is the result of addedidases in corn syrup that turn some of theglucose intofructose, which is naturally found in fruits.
Log Cabin only had corn syrup so it had less sugar.
It had a light color. The flavor of the syrup was my favorite.
It was the least sweet of the bunch, but it wasn't boring or bitter.
One of my top choices was this one.
The Log Cabin syrup made me happy.
It wasn't as good as the Pearl Milling Company syrup, but I liked that it was less sweet.
It was less expensive at $0.06 an ounce.
I wanted to add maple syrup to the mix to make it taste even better.
I wanted to compare the pancake syrups to a cheaper brand of maple syrup. The Kroger private selection brand was the cheapest I could find.
It was not as bright as the pancake syrups. It was a no for me at the beginning.
The flavor of maple syrup was hard to describe.
I would save this for making dressings or baking.
I would like to thank my winning syrups.
I would choose Log Cabin for pancakes and waffles.
The next time I want a stack of pancakes or waffles, I'd go for Pearl Milling Company.
It was rich and sweet, but not too sweet.
The Log Cabin syrup is my second choice because of its low price.
Log Cabin had a more subtle flavor that didn't make me want to eat it.
