Brown Sugar Syrup
Makes just a bit more than enough for one batch of Sweet Potato Pancakes
1 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup water
1 tablespoon butter
pinch salt
Measure out ingredients into saucepan. Bring to a boil, and once sugar is dissolved, the syrup is ready.
Toasted Pecans
Heat dry saucepan over medium heat. Add about 1 cup of pecans to pan. Toast for about 5-7 minutes, stirring often. Once you really start to smell the pecans, they're close to done.
