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

All very good excuses to ingest maple syrup

Waffles > Pancakes > French Toast

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

Guess who made waffles!!

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

French toast>waffles>pancakes.

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

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

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

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

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

I love waffles and pancakes, french toast is alright.

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 really want a waffle now.

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.

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.

none of that matters when you're addicted to Muesli.. hail Muesli, full of Grains.. Mightiest among Oatmeals.. Blessed be the Dried Fruits of Thy Bowl..

but here are my rules: sausage with pancakes, bacon with french toast, waffles are a bi-meat morning pastry (sausage or bacon)

waffles obviously go both ways

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...

God yes. Especially when paired with fried chicken.

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

I'm more of an eggs, potatoes, and bacon/sausage breakfast guy myself. I've not been a "cake" for breakfast man, ever. I'll dabble in a little toasted english with butter, but want the star attractions, and leave the "fill you up with flour and sugar" stuff to others

I like em but not enough to justify the amount of calories I'm ingesting. There's better food for cheat days imo.

Waffles? Depends.
Pancakes? Yep.
French Toast? Never tried.

Yes but I hate it when the waffles stick together

Yes, yes and yes.
