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.

that downward spiralled quickly
Waffles are crunchy, so that's an automatic win in my book
Pairs better with chicken too
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.
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.
Respect, but the real deal is the only syrup in my house.
My six-year-old daughter tried pancakes at a restaurant the other day where they only had Smucker's corn syrup, and she hated it. She knows the taste of real maple. I couldn't be prouder.

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.
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
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
^ This hobbit second breakfasts.
French toast.
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.
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.

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.
Both options are lacking in plate presentation but undoubtedly still delicious.
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.
Those pictures taste the same.
But the texture is different!
Darker pixels have more crunch.

Both please, with an egg and slice of bacon. But I'm not getting anything else accomplished today.
Why choose? Wankcakes!
wankoffles :) :)
I love how completely unaware of the stupid drama on bsky everyone here seems to be.
Wtf is that pancake it's like ab inch thick
Both look equally bad.
Lettu.
Pancakes. Waffles just don't achieve the same thing. Crispiness is great, but they don't absorb the butter as well.
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.
Waffle sticks are amazing. They make special irons for them specifically for this reason

Wouldn't work. I need butter, so unless I'm dipping in syrup and liquid butter...
Never mind, that would totally work.

dampfnudel it is. thank me later
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?
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.
Enter the legendary why not both meme
Realism.
Waffles? What's this geometric breakfast grid?Where's happy floppy shapes? Where's bubbly dadaisms on my plate?
