-Here is a simple Pancake recipe
+Simple timeless pancake recipe with easy ratios and staple ingredients
 
-## Ingredients
-- 200g wheat flour
-- 200 ml milk
-- 2 Eggs
-- 2 teaspoon sugar
-- 1 teaspoon baking soda
-- a little bit of salt
+## Ingredients (To serve one person - three or four pancakes)
+- 1 Cup plain (wheat) flour
+- 1 Cup full cream milk
+- 1 Egg
+- 1 tablespoon sugar
+- 1 heaped tablespoon salted butter
+- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
 
 ## Directions
-1. combine all ingredients all in a bowl and stir
-2. preheat a pan and add some oil
-3. Pour or scoop the batter onto the pan
-4. Brown on both sides
+1. Add flour, sugar and baking powder to a bowl, sifting them together
+2. Melt butter and whisk together with egg and milk in a **separate** bowl
+3. Combine egg, milk, butter mixture with your flour, sugar, baking powder mixture
+4. Whisk until smooth, adding very small dashes of milk as you whisk until you achieve your desired batter viscosity
+5. Leave whisked batter to sit for 10 minutes
+6. Lightly butter a medium temperature frying pan/skillet
+7. Pour batter on to pan surface, amount is accordant to your desired pancake size 
+8. Flip pancake when uncooked side is adequately aerated - timing is roughly 90 seconds initial side, 60 seconds final side
+9. Apply a small amount of butter to your pan between each pancake
 
+## Important Notes
+1. If your pancakes burn, your pan is too hot or you are flipping/removing too late
+2. Baking powder, not soda. Baking powder is sodium bicarbonate with a raising agent added
+3. You can add more salt (than is in the salted butter) or sugar to taste
+4. Batter viscosity (amount of milk used) is personal preference, more milk equals runnier batter equals thinner, flatter pancake
+5. Pork lard can be used in the place of butter for steps 6 and 8 if a crispy fried finish is desired, however butter > pork lard in terms of human health (according to Ray Peat) [1] [2]
+6. If you do try pork lard, experiment with a higher temperature and shorter cook time per side
