Hunter's Maple Products & Pancake House
1909 County Rd 21 K0E1X0 Spencerville, ON, Canada

While we are very sad not to be able to open for breakfast, the sap has been flowing and we have more than 180 gallons of fresh syrup made and more on the way. If you need to pick up some syrup and maple products, they are available for pickup at the restaurant during our regular hours.

We are freshly stocked on maple syrup pies and maple syrup. Stop by for breakfast, or just to take some sweet treats home. We are open 8am-3pm today and tomorrow.

Yes, we are still open Saturdays and Sundays from 8am-3pm. What we are doing to keep our restaurant, and you, safe from COVID-19: 1) Providing a touch-less hand sanitizing dispenser located outside our restroom area, and additional individual use hand sanitizing wipes available at every table and at our front cash.... 2) Providing anti-bacterial soap in our restrooms, and around all food prep areas. 3) Thorough cleaning of all surfaces and trays with food-safe disinfectant cleaner between every use. 4) Self-quarantine of any staff who are feeling unwell. These are all policies we already had in place, so this means very little will change for us and how we do business, but we will continue to adapt our policies and provide updates as the situation develops and as Health Canada dictates.

Spring forward with us! We've moved all the clocks forward and are ready to serve breakfast from 8am-3pm today. We've also got a good supply of fresh maple syrup on hand for you to take home.

Good morning from the sugar bush! It's a sunny day, and the fire is on and the pancakes are cooking. We also have a fresh batch of maple syrup pies available. We are open 8am-3pm today and tomorrow.

In case you weren't able to catch it live, here's the video of tonight's news cast about the problem of critters and sap lines.

We were excited to have a visit from CTV and show them around our operation. Changing lines after squirrels chew them is a pain, but we love our sweet maple life no matter what!

Check out CTV Ottawa tomorrow night at 6pm to see our family sugar bush on television! Thank you to the crew for stopping by to visit us today!

It's here! The first syrup of 2020 is officially boiled using our new evaporator. Visit us this Saturday and Sunday for breakfast and take home some fresh syrup!

It's a beautiful sunny day, perfect for a drive to the pancake house! We're open from 8am-3pm today. Don't forget to stock up on some of our delicious maple candy while you're here.

It's opening weekend! The grill is fired up and we are ready to kick off the 2020 season. We are open 8am-3pm Saturday and Sunday. Come have breakfast and pick up one of our delicious homemade maple syrup pie! We have a very limited quantity available.

As the 2020 Syrup season is about to begin we would like to introduce a new edition to our family, a brand new evaporator. We are still sticking with a traditional word fire burn, but our new machine burns cleaner and hotter than our old one, helping us make more of our syrup faster. Be sure to check her our on your next visit, she's a beauty!... Opening day is this Saturday, February 29, 8am-3pm.

Getting anxious for the start of the 2020 maple syrup season? So are we! Our first official day will be Saturday February 29. We will be open every Saturday and Sunday in March and April (and February 29) from 8am-3pm. We will also be open on Good Friday.

Congratulations to the winner of our Advent Calendar giveaway Melanie Storm Leakey! Please check your messages. Thank you to everyone who entered! Wishing you and your families a wonderful holiday and a happy new year. We are looking forward to seeing everyone for the 2020 Pancake season. The first day of the 2020 season will be Saturday February 29.

HOLIDAY ADVENT CALENDAR - DAY 24 For our last recipe we are sharing a long-time family favourite that we always hope to see on our dessert table come Christmas day, maple butter tarts. If you love butter tarts, but have never tried a maple syrup one before, these will change your life! Use with your favourite pie crust recipe. MAPLE SYRUP BUTTER TARTS... Ingredients: 2 eggs (well beaten) 1 1/2 cups brown sugar 1/2 cup Hunter's Maple syrup 2 tsps white vinegar 1 tsp vanilla 1/8 tsp salt 6 tbsps butter (melted) 1 cup raisins (optional but can also be your favourite nut instead) You can create your own pie crust dough, or buy them pre-made unbaked ones, but do not bake before adding the filling. If you choose to use raisins or nuts, put them into the unbaked shells first. Mix together all other ingredients and fill the shells no more than 2/3 full. Bake in a pre-heated oven at 400 degrees for 10 minutes, then reduce to 350 and bake for an additional 5-10 minutes. Watch carefully so that the filling does not bubble, if it starts to bubble, reduce heat. When the edges of your shells are golden brown, they're done! - Don't forget to like and let us know if you have tried this recipe, or if you're planning to, for your chance to win a wonderful Breakfast in Bed gift box!
