This is incredible. I wish it had a dairy free option!

#142Looks great, but why isn't there a checkbox to turn off the chunk of pork fat? I use avocado oil, personally.
Thanks - I used to have this but decided checkboxes were less useful for properties that don't require dynamic recomputation, so I added this as options. In the writeup I mention that avocado oil contributes no flavor, so it's very predictable but doesn't add flavor (which may be fine!).

#143That's serious commitment for sure, but - I don't know, the image makes it seems like he low-key burned his pancakes 8-\
when I saw those pics I thought: all this effort in the ingredients just to burn them light blonde pancakes taste the best IMO, but char being carcinogenic seems compelling enough on its own to warrant turning down the heat
I made them again this morning and took a new photo that's not overcontrasted from iPhone's built-in photo contrast. I'll get my fancier camera out like a real food blogger next time!

#144All this work to basically describe the recipe for Bulgarian banitsa (баница).

Thanks a lot! Good idea re bread - can you link me to your favorite more general recipes that show all the extremes/variables? I've skimmed some bread textbooks re enriched doughs and have made some Italian breads with sourdough starters, enriched doughs like challah, and once tried the NYT Dutch oven bread, but I don't make bread as often as I make pancakes.
The Sourdough Framework[0] is a really good book that specifically deals with sourdough, but has some good maths and theory. It actually doesn't have many recipes, but it's a good read. The author has a pizza calculator[1] too, which only has two variables (dough weight and hydration).

Thanks a lot!

Ah, I know about these big tall pancakes! I've had something like that in the Netherlands and grew up eating something like it too. I'll soon add a fluffiness slider back in so that at the lowest end, it tries to produce something close to crêpes, and you can tell me if it is like the Swedish recipes. Thanks for the international perspective!
I was thought the 112 emergency pancake recipe as a kid: 1 egg, 1dl flour, 2dl milk. I have made the almost blasphemous modification of adding a pinch of cardamom to the batter, it's delicious! Looking forward to trying your derived American pancakes this weekend! This calculator is awesome, thanks for doing this!
I was wondering if I was the only one who noticed the AI prose of the tool. It's honestly depressing to know that I have to be this suspicious about content from the first glance

#147Actually, the whole website is fire. There are articles on the same level on how to select T-shirts and pants. This is the second time I see a reviewer online doing the thing that was common a couple decades ago: actually doing the research.
What was the other time?
