Ranks compare each pair with 20,000 random ingredient pairs on CompKitchen. How we score pairs

What each ingredient does

Flour
Forms the structure of the batter that holds the pancake together.
Eggs
Bind the batter and help set the pancake structure as it cooks.
Yeast
Produces gas during rising, giving the batter a lighter texture.
Baking powder
Releases gas when heated, helping the pancakes rise and lighten.
Almonds
Add nutty flavour and a moist, rich filling texture.

The step that matters

Spreading the batter thinly. A thin layer of batter cooks through evenly and browns quickly. A thick pancake can stay raw in the centre or burn on the outside before it sets.

Swap the cardamom

How well each one fits the dish's main ingredients (flour, milk, egg, sugar, corn, almond):

  1. Cinnamonfits better
  2. Nutmegfits about as well
  3. Cardamomthe original
  4. Jalapenofits less well

Fit is the average pairing score against flour, milk, egg, sugar, corn, almond. Candidates are from the same food group and used in at least 100 recipes.
