Try mixing half and half of the molasses with any good table syrup used for pancakes. I realize the concept of flapjacks or pancakes is different in Britain than here in the U.S., but for a treat try this recipe:
1 egg
1 cup flour
3/4 cup milk ( I usually add a bit more to my desired consistency)
2 Tablespoons oil
1 Tablespoon sugar (a little more doesn't hurt and makes them brown better)
3 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
DIRECTIONS:
Mix your dry ingredients together, then add in your wet ingredients. Mix until smooth and to desired consistency, thickishly pourable.... (A few lumps is Ok though) I pour into a measuring cup I have with a pour spout but you can use whatever. Pour out onto semi-hot griddle about 4 to 5 inches in diameter; not too hot or the middle of your pancakes won’t cook through. When it’s bubbled up on one side, flip! Serve with the molasses syrup described earlier...
