Add all wet ingredients (egg, milk, melted butter, maple syrup) to a large squeeze bottle.
Cap the bottle and shake vigorously to combine.

Cap and shake again until the batter is just combined. Do not overmix.
Squeeze the batter onto a preheated, lightly oiled pan to form a perfectly round pancake.
Cook until bubbles form on the surface, then flip and cook until the other side is golden brown.
Store batter in the sealed squeeze bottle in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours. Cooked pancakes keep frozen for up to 3 months and reheat in a 350°F oven.

Yes, the batter can be mixed and stored in the squeeze bottle in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours. Shake or remix gently before use.
A 16–20 oz squeeze bottle works well for this recipe. Ensure the opening is wide enough to pour batter without lumps clogging the spout.
Lightly grease or spray the bottle with cooking spray before pouring the batter in. This makes emptying and cleaning much easier.
Yes, double or triple the ingredient amounts as needed. Use multiple squeeze bottles if one isn't large enough to hold all the batter.
Heat the griddle or skillet to medium or medium-high (around 375°F). The batter should sizzle gently when poured; flip when the edges look set and bubbles form on top.
