Either is great, but learn to make them well and use less syrup.

Disrespectfully disagree. Syrup is god’s greatest gift to toasted/browned grains with wildly unacceptable proportions of sugar already in them. Drown those fuckers in it. Let them breathe their last oxygen as they wait for my knife to slice, dice, and be delivered into the acid pits below.

Whoever downvoted you must not have ever had real maple syrup.
moakley@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
The waffle doesn’t have enough syrup.
The pancakes have almost enough, maybe, depending on if there’s any in the middle of the stack.
Real maple syrup is a reason to get up in the morning.
OrteilGenou@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
When I’m really craving something sweet, I’ll have a shot glass of maple syrup, preferably a light, early batch.

learn to make them well
a properly cooked meal is prepared how the person likes it, not how the internet likes it
U7826391786239@lemmy.zip 2 weeks ago
if you’re going to flood your veins with 500 grams of pure glucose, might as well do both. eat the waffle regularly, and wrap the pancakes around sausages and dunk them in that salad bowl of syrup you’re also eating all of

But the texture is different!

like butter.
unexposedhazard@discuss.tchncs.de 2 weeks ago
Both are soggy mush. Zero texture. Pure sugar goop.
LemmyKnowsBest@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
Both options are lacking in plate presentation but undoubtedly still delicious.
marzhall@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
I’ll be real: that butter distribution is hitting all the right spots in my brain and I have been craving a butter-drenched waffle for a few hours now. Luckily, it’s after when I normally eat, and hopefully by tomorrow I will have forgotten.
joyjoy@lemmy.zip 2 weeks ago
French toast.
cRazi_man@europe.pub 2 weeks ago
Seriously… Pancakes or waffles would be my last choice for breakfast. French toast, or eggs (in a variety of ways), a decent bread. Or if I’m going out and going to be fancy then a Shakshuka.
OrteilGenou@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
French style crepes, paper thin, with slices of ham and gruyere between them the first time, then maple syrup and/or whipped cream and berries the second time, to finish.
OrteilGenou@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
I like salvaging dried baguettes by busting them into chunks and then soaking them overnight in the cream -egg-vanilla mixture so they’re fully saturated.
nathanjent@programming.dev 2 weeks ago
Both please, with an egg and slice of bacon. But I’m not getting anything else accomplished today.

Wtf is that pancake it’s like ab inch thick
RizzRustbolt@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
Pancakes.
Waffles feel like homework for breakfast.
TigerAce@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 weeks ago
Why would you eat any of those for breakfast? Here in The Netherlands we eat pancakes only for dinner, but only sometimes, and waffles when going to the fair or something. Waffles are so full of sugar (and pancakes should be without, except for the topping maybe). Eating loads of sugar, especially the bad sugars popular in the US, causes obesity and type 2 diabetes.
bigfondue@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
Don’t you folks eat white bread with butter and chocolate sprinkles for breakfast?
OrteilGenou@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
Eat the axes!

moakley@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
Pancakes. Waffles just don’t achieve the same thing. Crispiness is great, but they don’t absorb the butter as well.
ZILtoid1991@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
So you hate waffles? /s
HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
i have had an epiphany. you know how queso dip is better than nachos, because you get optimal cheese to chip coverage with every chip? what if you made tiny waffles and dipped them in a cup of syrup.
moakley@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
Wouldn’t work. I need butter, so unless I’m dipping in syrup and liquid butter…
Never mind, that would totally work.
cfi@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
Waffle sticks are amazing. They make special irons for them specifically for this reason
TheOakTree@lemmy.zip 2 weeks ago
I think we need waffles that are flat on one side. Butter under the waffle on the flat side, syrup in the wells of the top side. Then you get even coverage of butter and also the crispness and syrup management benefits.
moakley@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
So half waffle, half pancake?
I bet I could make that.

What’s up with those pancake cutting lines? Who cuts a pancake into quarters? Is this normal? Am I the abnormal one for not doing this?
burntbacon@discuss.tchncs.de 2 weeks ago
When the pancake is the size of a silver dollar, rather than a sand dollar, quarters make them plenty small enough. Humbly, I submit that the best pancakes are half the size of a medium pizza cooked in jamaica, but am willing to entertain arguments about quarter pounder patties sized flapjacks.
GrindingGears@lemmy.ca 2 weeks ago
I agree. But I tear into them like a degenerate, not totally proportioned quarters.

How do you feel about one large pancake melded with two smaller pancakes, to make some sort of cartoonish mouse head shape?
db2@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
Realism.
Korhaka@sopuli.xyz 2 weeks ago
Pancakes because they don’t need specialised cooking equipment to make, I just make them on my cast iron pan.

AnimalsDream@slrpnk.net 2 weeks ago
Oooh, maybe two waffles with a syrup-saturated pancake and gently simmered fruit sandwiched in the middle. 🤔
No butter and no other dairy though.
JasonDJ@lemmy.zip 2 weeks ago
Like fresh fruit, or like syrup-infused canned fruit that just gets a sear on the griddle. Cuz those both sound awesome.
OrteilGenou@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
I prefer butter-brushing fresh fruit and then blistering them under the broiler
AnimalsDream@slrpnk.net 2 weeks ago
Agreed, either is fine.
expatriado@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
waffles then
Baphomet_The_Blasphemer@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
Why is French toast always left out of the debate?
Soktopraegaeawayok@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
They are both delicious! Just, maybe not what’s pictured though.
Baphomet_The_Blasphemer@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
Looks like IHOP pancakes and a Waffle House waffle. Neither establishment is known for high-quality dining… however, a waffle house all-star special while half drunk at 3am hits on a different level.
thatradomguy@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
Idk if it was covid but I just don’t like maple syrup anymore. I like jam or jelly.
GorGor@startrek.website 2 weeks ago
Coconut syrup. Throw some macadamia nuts in your pancake and slather it with some coco re’al cream of coconut. Delish.
thatradomguy@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
Thanks! I’ll give it a try!
Tedesche@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
Waffles. Greater surface area = more butter & syrup = higher cholesterol = greater chance of dying from a heart attack = end of existential life crisis. Existence be bullshit.

Waffles are crunchy, so that’s an automatic win in my book

Pairs better with chicken too
