My maternal grandmother had an Aunt Jemima syrup dispenser. She would warm the syrup & pour it in. Just enough syrup for one pancake but that’s what grandmothers do. Been looking for one for years but you just don’t find them. AJ was a comforting part of my childhood.
Was it like this?

It looks like they’ve become collectibles. You might try Etsy.
