Rather than making multiple large pancakes, the process consists of cooking multiple tiny pancake droplets.

The recipe itself includes the same ingredients as a regular pancake recipe, but the method varies.

The bottle controls how much batter is poured into a hot pan at one given time and allows the pancake sizes to remain consistent and small – about the size of a 20 cent piece.

Social media users have shared their own creations online, with many adding m&m chocolate into the batter or later topping the pancake cereal with fruit.

‘It’s Saturday so I made mini pancake cereal with chocolate and banana,’ one home cook wrote on Instagram.

Others simply stuck to the classic maple syrup topping – which always goes well with pancakes.
