Popoto Pancakes ★★★

Taken all the way down to base materials, a batch of 3 Popoto Pancakes is 2 crafting steps deep and needs 2 intermediates — Sunset Wheat Flour ×1 and Table Salt ×1 — which resolve to 6 distinct raw materials totalling 9 units, plus 5 crystals.

That bill outweighs 5,492 of the 13,602 recipes tracked here and 644 of the 1,058 Culinarian ones, and 4,464 recipes nest deeper.

Only 3 of those crystals go into the final step; the other 2 are burned by the intermediates, so the real crystal cost is 2 Fire Cluster, 2 Fire Shard and 1 Water Cluster.

Every step is Culinarian work, from a Lv 1 intermediate up to the Lv 50 finish, so one class covers the whole chain.

4 of the 6 raw materials match a gathering node, none of them timed; the other 2 come from vendors, drops or content this site does not track.

Of the intermediates, Table Salt has the widest use: 51 recipes call for it, all of them Culinarian recipes.
