CRUMB TOPPING
2 tbsp flour
2 tbsp brown sugar
2 tbsp oatmeal
2 tbsp cold butter

1. Combine first three ingredients
2. Cut butter into other ingredients - makes enough for about 8 pancakes

CINNAMON SYRUP
1 cup sugar
1/2 cup light corn syrup
1/4 cup water
1 tsp cinnamon
1/2 cup evaporated milk

1. In a small saucepan combine sugar, corn syrup, water and cinnamon.  Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring constantly.
2. Cook and stir for 2 more minutes.
3. Remove from heat and cool for 5 minutes, then stir in evaporated milk. Serve warm
*If you have leftovers heat just until warm; if the syrup boils it curdles the milk
