Scientific way to bake a perfect pancakes

Love the crepes and pancakes? Then you will surely be interested in the secret with which pancakes cooked every recipe will be the perfect shape and form of competition.
Baking pancakes rather complicated process. They get too thin, it is too thick, and sometimes at all - full of holes. I wish that they were always perfect? You will help one of the latest research in the field of mathematics and ophthalmology. (Once this research will save someone vision, but now it's a different story.)
Scientists from University College London, published in Mathematics Today journal the results of research 14 recipes pancakes from around the world. Surprisingly, it is assumed that it will explore in more detail the causes and the process of developing glaucoma, which will lead to the discovery of new and better methods of treating it.
Researchers have introduced a number of specialized terms to describe pancakes. The first - "aspect ratio". It is the ratio of the diameter of the pancake, raised to the third power, a test volume for its production. The next term was "Bakery attitude": the amount of fluid used to the volume of used flour. The higher the number, the thinner the dough is obtained.
The study showed that there is a direct dependence of the aspect ratio of the recipe. Thick Dutch pancakes Similar to tiny pancakes, have an aspect ratio of 3, and Russian thin pancakes or crepes French - 300. Bakery ratio for all tested recipes oscillates between 100 and 225. As it turned out, of it depends primarily on Ruddy pancakes.
Digits numbers, but how does it work? If you cook the dough with baking ratio of about 100 and try to bake a thick pancake, you get a tasty product is not output, and the lunar surface. In the test, there is water, which should be somewhere to go, and it forms a kind of evaporation craters that do not have time to delayed baking with these relations.
If you try to bake thin pancake with about 225 baker's ratio, small mass of dark spots formed on its surface and a dark ring around the edge: very thin dough with the evaporation of water begins to burn slightly more before the pancake ispechotsya. And in the center of the dish will be a lot of small holes through which water evaporates. If baking oven pancake with ratio 175, the color will be uniform regardless of thickness of the product, because the water will gradually go.
And what I have glaucoma? The fact that the original researchers involved in the study was it. In the course of the disease fluid accumulates in the eyes and can not get out. This puts pressure on the optic nerve, slowly damaging it and causing blindness. For the treatment need to find a way to derive water from the organ of sight, and therefore need a model of the output of water from the complex structures. That's why scientists began oven pancakes.
Let's try to test the theory: if the researchers are right, of University College London? Waiting for your mathematical recipes in the comments!
