Pancakes vs Waffles ~ It's a Duel

Ranked #1,497 in Food & Cooking, #27,588 overall

WHAT'S YOUR OPINION ON THE TWO OF THE WORLD'S MOST FAVORITE BREAKFAST FOODS - PANCAKES & WAFFLES

I love Pancakes and Waffles but if I have to decide what to make...I make PANCAKES. I use a Traditional American/Canadian Pancake recipe that can be used for either pancakes or waffles.

I order a Belgian Waffle occasionally in a restaurant for a treat but usually I would order pancakes. I'm not sure what it is about waffles but for me I think it's just a taste preference. It would be great if I could make a darn good delicious waffle but...I just love Pancakes!

Pancakes don't seem to get as soggy as waffles or maybe it's just me. I also prefer pancakes for their light fluffy texture and enjoy them with either jam or syrup. Of course, I use a bit of margarine but some people prefer to use butter.

Do you have a preference for pancakes or waffles? What's your opinion? If you can't decide between pancakes or waffles, how about saying something you like about either one.

Pancakes are so Tasty. Pancakes are Better...

Pancakes by FAR. :)

Logemon1 says:

Pancakes!

elyria says:

I am 100% for Pancakes - yum!

TopTenLists says:

pancakes are lighter and you can get more in them

jentaylorsc says:

I love both! I always have a tough time deciding, but I would say I get pancakes more often.

LKW31 says:

So hard to make a decision! But I think I will go with pancakes....

fluffyclouds says:

Pancakes are like a real food and a dessert! Tehy are more versatile and oh-so-fluffy with crispy edges....NOM NOM NOM!

halibound says:

pancakes are pretty simple and now that I put food coloring in them and make designs my kids always want pancakes... Just finished making flowers and their names out of pancake mix and food coloring filled a ziplock cut a small hole and voila, like using icing :o)

mysticmama says:

Pancakes are just more versatile & yummy! :)

Every weekend i make pancakes my family love it!

dryder says:

Tough one, I like them both, but pancakes win

Terminalord says:

Pancakes, obviously...

izoooom says:

Pancakes are so versatile

Craftyville says:

Pancakes are the best! I could eat them everyday.

SudokuNut says:

Pancakes, sugar, sultanas and a squeezed lemon...yum! Umm waffles are good too though lol

NightlyGame says:

with icecream, whipped cream and chocolate sauce ... njam !

TamaraKajari says:

Well, let me add some delicious confusion:-) I'm from Europe (Croatia) and we don't eat pancakes like in US, but crepes like in France. We love them because they're thin and you can fold them. Can be combined with any kind of fillings, even salty ones if you want a main dish (cheese, mushrooms...). Of course, kids love them just with chocolate or jam:-) Waffles are considered here more as biscuits. Great duel!

AWildDog says:

Pancakes - but english style pancakes.

GeoffSteen says:

A hard choice, but I think pancakes are more versatile in terms of the fillings they will hold. And I think they go better with savoury stuff.

kayrol says:

i like pancakes than waffles..b-coz simple and light to eat

No way, Waffles are Delicious. Waffles are Better...

artbyrodriguez says:

Waffles win!

kateclough says:

I only eat pancakes if they're buckwheat. I prefer waffles any 'ol time.....with fruit!

John_Michael says:

they're both great and I prefer waffle pancakes

gina-top5socialmedia says:

waffles ALL the way. With strawberries!

mcallen14 says:

pancakes fill you up more so i'm going to say waffles.

Etemephobia_Treatment says:

Waffles all the way. they have a distinct taste and they capture syrup better

summersorbet says:

I'll have to go with waffles here.. they have a delicious unique taste. Pancakes are good, too, but maybe I have pancakes more often and waffles seems more like a treat.. ? Great lens - very thought provoking! LOL

ideadesigns says:

Some days it's pancakes, others it's waffles. So today I'll say waffles are the best!

CHalloran says:

I love blueberry waffles. Not a big fan of pancakes.

Margo_Arrowsmith says:

Waffles all the way. I have a Belgium waffle maker and it is so versitial. In fact, I have lensrolled this to my lens of coconut flour where I make grilled cheese sandwiches that are really waffles with coconut flour and cheese!

wrylilt says:

Waffles catch the topping in their cute little holes, making them easier to eat. Plus they're crunchier!

Lockerlover says:

Three words: I...love...waffles.

Lockerlover says:

WAFFLES! WAFFLES! I love waffles! Waffle house is WAY better than IHOP. I love waffles! Where are the I love waffles tshirts? Waffles hold syrup better!

GetSillyProductions says:

waffles ftw

Sydneyaus says:

Waffles and cream!

Lockerlover says:

I still like the waffles at waffle house. WAY more delicious than ihop. They don't look yummy to eat.

Lockerlover says:

Waffles taste way better than pancakes. Even though the ones at waffle house are sometimes soggy and soft...

TheCureForYouthMinistry says:

Gonna go with waffles because I like Waffle House more than IHOP.

katieyoung says:

Waffles. Texture, flavor, ability to keep syrup from sliding off... waffles win.

Hauser says:

Perfectly cooked waffles for the win! Crispy on the outside, soft on the inside.

I SAY: PANCAKES are Better because...

...Pancakes are Easier to Make than Waffles

I really enjoy cooking breakfast and making tasty pancakes. You may call them griddle cakes or hot cakes depending on how you cook them. I cook pancakes in the frying pan or if I'm making a large batch of pancakes, I use my griddle.

Our family loves waffles but I have a hard time keeping them crisp. Besides, waffles are too much darn work and I have to make too much batter. Truth be told, I am just lazy. My daughter bought me a new waffle iron and I'm still learning how to use it.

I probably could make delicious waffles if I practiced a little more but who wants to practice on their family. I prefer tasty fluffy pancakes anyways. Please...just don't tell my family! It's our secret.
