    All very good excuses to ingest maple syrup

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

        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.

        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???

          Because waffles require added stuff (whipped cream, berries, ice cream, etc) to be good. Pancakes only need butter and syrup.

          Also, you require a special pan to make waffles. I’ve made pancakes on a hot rock before.

            Maple syrup waffles are one of the best things on this planet!

    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.

    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?

    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.

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

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

        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.

          I always used to assume crêpes when people said ‘pancake’ but I have since learned of the American pancake and how different it is.

          Crêpes are the best. Love a savoury crêpe so much.

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