Thread: Pancakes or Waffles?

Seeing the Waffle Iron in the gadgets thread gave me this idea...

Waffles, hands down.

Pancakes are, well, too cakey and battery for me.

Waffles on the other hand have a great texture and crispy outer core.

Of course I also prefer real Maple Syrup as a topping over the sugary Aunt Jemima crap.

See this past post for pictures of the Waffles I made....

It's just the opposite for me, I grew up eating both but prefer Pancakes hand's down...(do not even own a Waffle Iron unless my Mothers is boxed up and stored out back...)Butter (substitute) and Maple Syrup...

Pancakes all the way.

"Outer core"

We're talking about homemade waffle iron waffles, right? If any of you are basing your waffle experience on frozen, store bought Eggo waffles, you clearly are missing out.

Try a homemade waffle using a quality waffle iron and I find it hard to believe you'll still prefer the floppy, cakey, boring pancake.

Waffles don't taste the same as Pancakes to me even though they come from the same dough...

Waffles.

They hold syrup a lot better than pancakes with its squares/holes.

Also, when ordered with bacon/sausage/ham, it goes better.

(I got your PM, HD- WAFFLES RULE!)

Good point Sabres. Waffles are designed perfectly to hold a pool of syrup and butter. Pancakes on the other hand, when you pour syrup on them, it just runs off of them and back onto the plate.

Humm...Pancakes with sryup over a dab of peanut butter!!
