Maple Flavour? What is Maple Flavour?

[apocalypsos.livejournal.com]

Maple flavoring, in the aisle with all the vanilla extract and stuff.

Would it be okay to use maple syrup instead?

[apocalypsos.livejournal.com]

I don't see why not. I think I changed it to maple syrup when I made them the one time, and those turned out fine. :)

Are Maple Nut Logs your funeral food? In my family, death=ham (as in, we bake one and take it to the funeral home).

Sorry about your great-grandad.

And thank you for posting the maple log recipe...it sounds so good

Yup, and if you like the taste of pancakes and walnuts, they're horribly addictive. My mom brought me a batch to DC from Pennsylvania and I squealed like an idiot in the middle of a hotel parking lot. :)

I like pancakes, just not with a lot of syrup. I shall have to make these. Thank you.

And it looks like I could substitute pecans with no trouble!
