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.

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.

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.

learn to make them well

a properly cooked meal is prepared how the person likes it, not how the internet likes it

Honestly with everything going on in my life I don’t really care

Godverdomme

But the texture is different!

Darker pixels have more crunch.

like butter.

Both are soggy mush. Zero texture. Pure sugar goop.

Eat the axes!

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.

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.

It lets the syrup soak into the middle.

So you hate waffles? /s

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.

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.

Like fresh fruit, or like syrup-infused canned fruit that just gets a little caramelized on the griddle. Cuz those both sound awesome.

yeah why can't my waffle iron do waffle hexes you know what i should look into that

Coconut syrup. Throw some macadamia nuts in your pancake and slather it with some coco re'al cream of coconut. Delish.

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.
