Do you like waffles?

Yes! I can't wait to get a mouthful!

Back in the early days of WoW, my guild would play that song on Ventrilo during raids as either a celebration or as a hype up. Good times.

Only if they are blue

All very good excuses to ingest maple syrup

21

This is the answer. They are simply delicious vehicles for butter and maple syrup (none of that fake shit either…).

I mean…

Waffles > Pancakes > French Toast

11

French toast > pancakes > waffles

You dammed heathen!

5
- I'm with CGP Grey. He notes that it depends on the quality of the restaurant. French Toast has both higher highs and lower lows than the other two.

- Savory french toast > waffles > sweet french toast > pancakes
  
  :D

- Look, I don't agree, but I can understand how you might put French toast first, but in what world are Pancakes better than waffles???

Waffles are superior to pancakes, french toast is in it's own lane vibing.

8

Yes but savory french toast rules all. Red Dog Toast is also very good.

8

"red dog toast"

That looks delicious. Thanks!

Guess who made waffles!!

Just started rewatching this show cuz me and my friend were talking about it. Theres an upscaled version this guy's hosting for free that's pretty good. Show holds up. Id post link but upscaled invader zim its like result 2 on Google or something.

It depends on the quality of the food imo. Like, if I’m in a super fancy restaurant, you know the French toast is about to be totally bomb. If you’re at a shifty diner, pancakes are really hard to fuck up. This being said, I think waffles are very consistent across the board

5

It's a good way to eat breakfast and feed my sourdough starter at the same time.

5

I would go Pancake -> French Toast -> Waffles.

All are good but pancakes are the food of the gods.

5

What about crêpes vs pancakes? Crêpes imho but to each their own!

4
- Oh yeah I would go crepes for sure! I'm from Europe so I was thinking more of the crepe-y kind of pancakes anyway.
  
  4

French toast>waffles>pancakes.

5

The correct answer. Tho the waffles have to be the good kind not eggo or whatever.

3
- Of course. Made in one of those cast iron flip waffle pans and cooked enough to be a bit crisp instead of soggy.
  
  4

Tip for the people who don't like waffles: go to Belgium and visit a 'wafelhuis'. Order a Liège or Brussels waffle with a good topping like powdered sugar, whipped cream or chocolate sauce.
Just beware that you go to a proper place and not a tourist scam saloon. If it has stupid toppings like m&m's or Nutella go to a different place (proper chocolate sauce>>>>Nutella). If it advertises Belgian waffles instead of Liège waffles and/or Brussels waffles go away.
If you ate some Liège and Brussels waffles and still don't like them, you are a lost cause.

5

French toast sticks - crispy ones from Shoney's - are the best thing. Otherwise, French toast is okay, Belgian waffles with savory toppings are good, and everything else is meh.

Edit: On the off chance you're referencing this, yeah we like waffles.

When that song came out, I was in kindergarten.

Next year, I'll be old enough to buy a beer.

Waffles: Not that hard to do right, you just need to separate the eggwhites and whisk them hard before reintegration.

Pancakes: The breakfast workhorse. Great with a fried egg on top. Make it with rendered bacon fat instead of oil and a yoghurt-water mix instead of buttermilk for a richer flavor.

French toast: I don't know who is out here teaching people this should be a sweet dish and garnishing it with sugar. When made savory, it's the best of the three and not at all difficult to make if you have a good egg whisk and the right kind of bread. But it should only have enough sugar in it to help the outside caramelize! One tablespoon per three eggs is enough. Make sure you salt the eggsop, too.

4

Make it with rendered bacon fat instead of oil

now you're talking

3

I like all of them, I only have them occasionally though. I can't say there is a better one but of the three I've had pancakes more than the other two.

4

I don't mean to brag

I don't mean to boast

but I'm intercontinental when I eat French toast

4

Good versions of all three are delicious! Even average French toast is pretty good, but i can skip average waffles and pancakes.

4

In my humble opinion: Crepes > French Toast > Pancakes > Waffles

4

They're pretty good, but the problem I always have with waffles is that the moisture on the underside of a waffle builds up/condenses onto the plate, which creates sogginess. I always prefer my waffles to be very crisp, so this sogginess undermines that and introduces that awkward "crunchy but also ew soft" factor that screws up later waffle sections. I can fix this a little by putting a paper towel under them on the plate, but this feels wasteful and sometimes draws confusion from friends or family who don't seem to care about this issue.

By this merit, I usually find pancakes preferable since they completely cover the plate under them, leaving no air for moisture to condense from, and they're porous enough to just absorb any such moisture without a meaningful change in consistency anyway.

Anybody else experience this? Got tips for waffle technique?

4

Yeah

I really want a waffle now.

4

I love waffles and pancakes, french toast is alright.

Waffles are king, pancakes are solid, French toast is kinda tricksy.

One of these days I'mma buy a cast iron waffle maker cause all the electric ones I've tried ate shit after a few months of regular use.

Now pancakes are solid as they're easy to make and it only takes a bit of practice to cook them right.

Pancake Pro-Tip: If you wanna make a home made hot pocket, make a pancake batter recipe with a bit less liquid and a bit more flour to thicken it up (if you've got the time, cool the mix down in a fridge for a while to help with thickening). Cook up the pocket's guts and set to the side, pour some batter on the skillet and let it cook long enough to get some bubbles in the center (lets you know that the bottom should be cooked well enough), spoon some guts into the center, and then ladle on some more batter over the top to cover the guts. By then, the bottom should be well set and you can flip it over without too much trouble.

French Toast... gotta have the cheapest whitest bread around or really crusty french bread. The dense loaves of like, multi grain style bread, never seem to soak up the egg mixture enough to really be satisfying.

3

God yes. Especially when paired with fried chicken.

3

Waffles are a treat, great with sweet things like fruit and cream and syrup!

French toast is amazing, ketchup, sausage, tasty!

Pancakes, I want to like them but I feel a bit sickly after them...

3

🤢

Dessert waffles aren't my thing, but I get it...

catsup on french toast, though?

🤮

3

To be honest not really. Just tastes kind of bland, which is why I think people need to douse them in syrup and other toppings.

For breakfast I’m all about eggs and bagels

3

Preposterous.

Just like humans, waffles are social creatures. They simply rely on toppings to become a better version of themselves. They are accepting of all cultures, be it sugar, syrup, chocolate or even strawberry jam. This is because as Friedrich Nietzsche said: "There are no eternal facts, as there are no absolute truths." One topping simply cannot be the true topping.

Once a topping is placed on the waffle, it becomes part of the waffle. Part of its taste, part of its existence. It completes it. Therefore to say that a waffle is bland because it has no topping is like saying that a human is incapable of anything because you once saw a lone human in nature get eaten by a wolf.

Waffles are a reflection of humanity and you are simply running away.

If they're made right, all they need is some butter and maybe black pepper.

3

I'm more of an eggs, potatoes, and bacon/sausage breakfast guy myself. I've not been a "cake" for breakfast man, ever. I'll dabble in a little toasted english with butter, but want the star attractions, and leave the "fill you up with flour and sugar" stuff to others

3

I like em but not enough to justify the amount of calories I'm ingesting. There's better food for cheat days imo.

3

none of that matters when you're addicted to Muesli.. hail Muesli, full of Grains.. Mightiest among Oatmeals.. Blessed be the Dried Fruits of Thy Bowl..

but here are my rules: sausage with pancakes, bacon with french toast, waffles are a bi-meat morning pastry (sausage or bacon)

waffles obviously go both ways

3

Waffles are hot little sluts?

Yeah, checks out.

2
- put some syrup on it, you can talk a waffle into almost anything
  
  3

Waffles? Depends.
Pancakes? Yep.
French Toast? Never tried.

3

How have you never tried French toast?? Get thee to a supermarket stat!

2

Yes but I hate it when the waffles stick together

3

Stickin' together is what good waffles do.

3

French toast is superior to both. Waffles and pancakes are just meh.

3

Yes, yes and yes.

3

I was going to say this... all three are excellent options!!!

3

Found Leslie Knope’s lemmy account.

3

I like waffles and pancakes but I'm not a fan of french toast.

3

I love french toast so much! When I make it at home… I whisk some eggs, milk and Cinnamon… splash the bread on both sides and let it sizzle… I also make a ton extra and freeze the left overs so when I don’t want to destroy my kitchen with mess and dishes.. I can just throw em from the freezer into my toaster and bam! Instant awesome breakkie!

When I make pancakes I use the Jiffy mix recipe for waffles cause I find their thicker and fluff up as opposed to being flat lifeless disks…

2

Waffles > French Toast > > > Pancakes.

Pancakes just turn into a gelatinous mess after a minute and make you feel like shit for eating them. They're a dessert, not a breakfast.

2

Pancakes are consistent. French toast is the least consistent. Waffles are the middle ground. At their peaks, the best French roast is better than the best waffles and those are better than the best pancakes, but at their worst it is flipped.

So somewhere new pancakes can be reliable.

2

Of the three, I like certain kinds of pancakes the best. I don't care for the other two.

2

Pancakes, waffles, French toast, in that order. Waffles are amazing, but nothing beats an old fashioned diner pancake with butter and syrup.

2

Where's the Harold & Kumar Wafflebot when you need'em?

2

I might, tennis too.

2

Love them, especially when they're nice and crispy on the outside and soft and fluffy on the inside. Lather it in butter and pour on the maple syrup. Can't get enough.

2

Best recipe I've found for pancakes (I use kefir instead of buttermilk), better than any mix I've bought, and great tips for perfecting for pancakes:

https://cooking-classy.com/buttermilk-pancakes/

Otherwise pancakes are often kinda meh, and I apparently don't like maple syrup enough for it to redeem all pancakes.

French toast is tasty but I haven't perfected or found a great recipe. Waffles requires yet another kitchen appliance which just isn't happening right now. Which means it all depends on the restaurant.

2

Aren't buttermilk and kefir basically the same thing? Now I haven't had american buttermilk so I can't really give my opinion on the matter, but I've heard something or the other about them being the same thing.

Edit: found the video https://youtu.be/xTiKv5-lJvM?feature=shared 8:20

2
- They're pretty similar; kefir, buttermilk, and yogurt are all kinda the same thing. In the US what you get at the grocery store is probably going to be standardized around different textures and flavors though. And in the case of yogurt, 50 percent sugar and added random flavors.
  
  2

Yes.

Next question.

Do you like pancakes?

1

Yes to waffles and pancakes, no to French Teauxt.

All of the above. With sausage or bacon or ham, scrambled eggs (well done; runny eggs are a conspiracy to torment innocent tastebuds), and hashbrowns.
