Answer:

To make the syrup pour out after it has thickened due to the cold temperature, you can use the following method:

Fill a large bowl with hot water.

Place the container of syrup, with the lid securely tightened, into the bowl of hot water.

Let the container sit in the hot water for a few minutes until the syrup starts to loosen up.

Once the syrup has softened, remove the container from the hot water and shake it vigorously to help loosen it up even more.

Finally, remove the lid and pour the syrup over your pancakes.

Step-by-step explanation:

This method works because heat causes the viscosity of the syrup to decrease, making it less thick and easier to pour. When the syrup is exposed to hot water, the heat is transferred to the syrup, and its molecules begin to move more rapidly, leading to a reduction in viscosity. By shaking the container vigorously, you are further agitating the syrup and helping to break up any remaining clumps, making it easier to pour
