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

All very good excuses to ingest maple syrup

I mean…

Waffles > Pancakes > French Toast

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

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

Guess who made waffles!!

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.

French toast>waffles>pancakes.

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

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

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

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

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.

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.

I don't mean to brag

I don't mean to boast

but I'm intercontinental when I eat French toast

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

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

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.

I love waffles and pancakes, french toast is alright.

I really want a waffle now.

Yeah

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?

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

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

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...

Yes, yes and yes.

Found Leslie Knope’s lemmy account.

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.

God yes. Especially when paired with fried chicken.
