About the recipe

Syrup is great for more than just pancakes. Enjoy a soft piece of syrup bread as a soft, warm, carb-y snack.

This Syrup Bread bakes in a cast-iron skillet and is for perfect for someone who prefers a less sweet, cakelike treat and also for those who prefer dark cane syrup to molasses.

Because the size and shapes of skillets can vary, start checking the bread after 30 minutes and check every 5 minutes after that to prevent overcooking. If your skillet is well-seasoned you don’t need to grease it.
