I will never again ignore this equation:  

Sugary brown liquid (such as maple syrup) + hot black Darto pan with oil & browned bits + a moment of inattention = smoke alarm 

and perhaps more important, its corollary:

The speed of converting sugary mixtures to charcoal is inversely related to the scaling of the recipe.  This means that a recipe that has been scaled down from 4 servings to 1 will burn 4X faster than the original 

 

Edited to add that my error did not ruin my breakfast and I enjoyed  a mug of coffee along with it but I was already quite alert by that time!
