    Pancakes because they don’t need specialised cooking equipment to make, I just make them on my cast iron pan.

    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.

      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.

      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.

      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.

          The real stuff is great. The fake stuff is delicious. I may not be a strawberry fucker, but that strawberry syrup at ihop is sinful in it’s delectability. The aunt jemima fructose corn goo is orgasmic.

          The real stuff rocks my socks, but it’s also too expensive to slather on like I’m greasing my partner before said partner our kid’s pool wrestling matches. I appreciate the disaccharides I can get in industrial drum size. Gimme fake indian plastic bottles that hold diluted mud in them, and just dump em in my feeding trough. Let me squeeze the last drop of insulin out of my poor pancreas before my pumping heart explodes.

      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.

    Pancakes. Waffles just don’t achieve the same thing. Crispiness is great, but they don’t absorb the butter as well.

      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.

      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.

        Wouldn’t work. I need butter, so unless I’m dipping in syrup and liquid butter…

        Never mind, that would totally work.

        Waffle sticks are amazing. They make special irons for them specifically for this reason

    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

      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.

      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.
