Abstract
Abstract A sucrose-based syrup is increased in viscosity to provide a preferred pourability and non-absorptive characteristic on pancakes and like porous comestibles to which it is applied by a method which employs a semi-refined sugar syrup which is filtered through a diatomaceous earth media and mixed with CMC-thickened softened water operative to compensate for presence of ash and other flocculents in the semi-refined sugar syrup.
