My mother-in-law makes this (usually with waffles instead of cornmeal
pancakes) whenever all the kids and grandkids are home:

Cinnamon Cream Syrup
1 C sugar
1/2 C light corn syrup
1/4 C water
1/2 to 3/4 tsp cinnamon
1/2 C evaporated milk

Combine sugar, syrup, water, and cinnamon. bring to boil over medium
heat stirring constantly. cook and stir 2 minutes more. remove from
heat and cool for 5 minutes. stir in evaporated milk. serve warm with
Cornmeal Pancakes. makes about 1 2/3 cups of syrup.
