Economy Pancake Syrup

I used this in a pinch. Certainly not as good as the real thing, but it's cheap and it works. 

1 cup brown sugar, lightly packed
3 cups water
5 tsp cornstarch
1 tsp maple flavoring

Combine all except the maple flavoring in a saucepan. Cook until slightly thickened. Add maple flavoring. Serve immediately and store remaining sauce in fridge.
