BRICS vs G7: Where is it Cheaper to Make Pancakes?

Subscribe
G7 member-states, consisting of Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, the UK, and the US, as well as many other nations have been facing a major surge in inflation over the past year, with prices for some everyday groceries skyrocketing to unprecedented heights.
According to official data, last month, the US consumer price index rose 4.9%, (on top of 5% in March). Meanwhile, the Eurozone suffered from high-level annual inflation, reaching 7%, while in Britain, that figure soared past a whopping 10%.
With such a major crisis and gloomy forecasts, many people are opting for homecooked meal, rather than dining out, which means, that nowadays it is better to measure their purchasing power not with a multinational fast-food burger brand, but with something that anyone can whip up in their kitchen.
A pancake seems to be a great unit for that - it is nutritious, easy to cook, and can be found across all the cultures, providing insight into the reality of grocery prices for regular folks.
Take a look at Sputnik's pancake index, which shows more accurately how much more expensive it is to cook pancakes in G7 countries than in BRICS countries.
