Pancakes or Waffles . . .

Buckwheat blueberry waffles with Irish unsalted butter and pure grade B maple syrup....

Bananas Foster pancakes

Pancakes. I try to make them for the kids on Sundays or when the pantrys running low and you do the old breakfast for dinner thing.

Mmmm tallow.

Hi Gents: Hope all is well with you and your families. Just thought it would be fun to discuss this subject. I'll start.
First of all. . . I love me some pancakes and waffles. However, if I had to choose only one, it would be waffles.

So . . . how 'bout you? Which one would you pick? Pancakes? Waffles? What's your story?

It's tie so far. ..

I'm a pancake guy. I don't particularly like the way the syrup pools in the waffle.

Seriously...How is this even a question...?
Waffles people.
Totally different batter...
The folded in egg whites at the end makes all the difference.

I don't eat either of them anymore.

I grew up eating pancakes more than waffles. When my mom made them, they were sweet and light and fluffy, and she often made them with bananas mixed into the batter. When my dad made them, they were more like a thick crepe and had a delicious chew to them.

I chose waffles, though, before I started writing this post. I was thinking about how I used to enjoy putting drops of maple syrup in the square indentations of the waffles and have fun filling certain squares so that I made designs with the syrup.

After a little reflection, I think I should have chosen pancakes, for nostalgic reasons.

Pancake Tuesday has come and gone and I have no immediate travel plans to Belgium.

Thanks and good night,

I would vote but there's no option for "art is king."

Waffles...w/ lots of butter, syrup & sliced fresh fruit!

Waffles, by a mile, but I'm so bummed that the breakfast joints in my 'hood have all seemingly replaced their old small-bore waffle irons with those stupid big-hole Belgian waffle-makers.

What's wrong with Belgian waffles?

I like pancakes, I usually add dried wild blueberries. My wife prefers waffles,also with the blueberries. I cook both using vintage Grisswold cast iron.
Our son boils down his own Maples syrup so we get a years supply from him every spring.

If given the choice of pancakes or waffles I will always go with pancakes. But I do occasionally have waffles for a little variety.

Both obviously, with bacon.

Waffles with bacon? That's new to me (but then, hearing about waffles with peanut butter was surprising for me as well! )

I like my wafels this way (ad from an ice cream shop):

Picked pancakes, but honestly I don't consider something that's all carbs to be breakfast. There has to at least be some protein on the side, otherwise it's like eating desert. Eggs and bacon is my daily morning fill.

My usual breakfast is a cup of coffee, and two pieces of toast with jam or marmelade. I would never eat pancake or waffles for breakfast; way too heavy!
