I'll make the Pearls of Maple -- that's my kind of breakfast, and there will be wheat eaters in the house to help!

Sometimes I wonder if CP testing isn't in the category of "well kept secrets." Even the morning after there are wonderful choices -- I was torn, will make this and another one today for the Seder and the company staying. Is it because of the holidays?

This weekend going into Passover, heralding 8 days of unleavened bread makes testing the recipe(s) I would have liked to out of the question. I'm sad.

You're welcome! I'm a huuuge fan of cream sodas but I'm on the fence about maple. I think this will be a great way to test out maple for me.

I found that for an 8 oz glass 2 tbs of the syrup was just right, had it the other day as an ice cream soda with vanilla ice cream and it was wonderful. Thanks and I do hope you like.
