Mustard Maple Syrup uses a spicy or honey mustard with maple syrup to create the perfect maple syrup for chicken and waffles and so much more. If you love maple syrup like we all do you’re going to love this easy recipe!
Both my husband and I have been lifelong lovers of maple syrup. I remember tapping maple trees with my grandpa when I was young. My grandma made the best homemade maple syrup I’ve ever tried and I enjoyed every drop.
She served everything from pancakes, french toast, sweet potatoes, baked beans, porridge or oatmeal and ice cream. All with maple syrup all over them.
We never wasted a drop.
I still remember the first time she served her fried chicken and waffles. I was so impressed and absolutely loved it. Eventually, my husband and later my son, fell in love with it too.
As a result of our love of chicken and waffles we’ve perfected a couple different kinds of flavored maple syrups. Just to switch things up and boy oh boy were we glad we did.
My grandmother would have been so impressed. I think you will be too.
