Depends on the quality. High quality French toast can be transcendent. A decent Belgian waffle is always good. Finally, pancakes are like pizza. It's hard to entirely fuck them up, so even crappy pancakes are ok with enough butter and maple syrup.
French toast. I think the egg gives it a bit of a boost.
Honestly, I just looked up recipes for waffles and pancakes. The main difference I'm seeing is some waffles have vanilla extract... and that's basically the main thing. I prefer waffles, largely because of the texture and the little syrup pods, but otherwise I can go with either one.
I don’t really like the sweet breakfast pastry concept. I guess waffles, preferable cornmeal or Belgian waffles. I’d much rather have a breakfast burrito with green chile or huevos rancheros though.
Not even questionable. Pancakes turn into a disgusting gelatinous mess after like 10 seconds with syrup. They're too dense, so you feel like shit after eating them.
Flat Food propaganda! Don't fall for this thinly disguised attempt to lead you away from the one truly spherical breakfast or anytime food, namely Aebleskivers. Eat them sweet or savory, eat them all day long!
Personally it's Waffles > Pancakes > French Toast, but I like all three. That being said, if I'm in the US, it's none of the above. Those barbarians don't serve these items with maple syrup which is abhorrent to me as a Canadian.
If I am cooking, French Toast because I can ensure quality. If my wife is cooking, Belgian Waffles because the waffle iron prevents user error. If I am at a restaurant, pancakes because they are always different and very few places make them in a way I dislike.
They're all great, but much too heavy for a breakfast. I'll take some yoghurt with a handful of nuts or cereal or dried fruit.
Maybe I'll take some pancakes for lunch later.
French toast. I've developed a terrible (as in, frighteningly bad for you) and amazing recipe by cranking up the fat content from other recipes and adding a little more spice.
6-8 slices of bread (decently thick Italian bread is what I usually use, but obviously French bread is good for French toast)
4 eggs
4 Tbsp butter
ÂĽ cup half & half
1 Tbsp real maple syrup (don't you dare use fake stuff)
1 tsp cinnamon
½ tsp vanilla extract
ÂĽ tsp nutmeg
Leave the eggs and butter out so they get to room temperature. If the butter isn't super soft, melt it.
Whisk everything (except the bread) together well. If the ingredients are too cold, the butter will solidify in chunks. It's also a good idea to whisk between batches to keep everything evenly suspended. Dunk the bread slices for good coverage and cook them up on a griddle or pan preheated to medium heat until lightly brown on both sides. Top the finished product with maple syrup or vanilla ice cream. Or both. Schedule a cardiologist visit. Enjoy.
I'm not nuts about any of these to be honest. I make protein blueberry pancakes once a week as a treat, but regular pancakes have way too much sugar and very little protein.
My favorite breakfast foods are matzoh brei and quiche. I guess I just prefer savory!
Waffles, but I have celiac so made of blue corn masa. If you haven't tried it, get some! It's amazing with blueberries, plus your house smells like popcorn as it's cooking.
None, corn flour with milk and water in the pan, stir it for couple minutes on fire and read to eat!(dont forget the salt) Ad some green cheese or fet for extra flavor.
Its a bit heavy but holds you half day.
