Pancakes or Waffles?

Pancakes are light, soft and delicious, readily soaking up syrup while maintaining a smooth surface perfect for butter spreading. They are also easily stacked which leads to better aesthetics and the ability to fit more on a plate.

Waffle are crisp, crunchy and delicious, complete with copious holding cells for superior syrup retention. They are also more readily available in frozen form, lending to the convenience of preparation in a toaster.

Where do you stand on this controversial issue?

    This is really a tough call. I don't have a waffle maker and the frozen ones have too much sodium, so I'll have to go with pancakes. My dad's waffles made with sprite are something special though!

    Really, I just need a product to deliver me the copious amounts of mrs. butterworth's that i require. I've not quite gotten into the drinking it out of the bottle a la super troopers.

    I'm torn.

    When I want to spread on crunchy peanut butter.....waffles are best. Maple & PB on a nice crunchy waffle - yum!

    But soft, pillowy, blueberry pancakes. Hmmm.....so many fruits. I guess I would have to go with pancakes if I had to choose.

    Waffles hold together better as you spread PB and Nutella on them.

    Waffles - good for delivering cream, chocolate sauce & strawberries or fried chicken, bacon & maple syrup.

    Pancakes - good for replacement coasters...

    Pancakes, no question. I was away for a (long) weekend staying at an inn in Vermont, and they had a choice between the two most mornings. I had pancakes every single one. (They were different types of pancakes -- cinnamon one day, blueberry the next, and almond the third.) I'm not really wild about the texture of waffles, I know this makes me a heretic. (I also don't find that the idea of nut butter on either is appealing at all. Maple syrup or go home.)

    The one exception is with the dish chicken and waffles.

    You're entitled to your (wrong) opinion.

    I was never a waffle person until we bought a wafflemaker. I waffle everything now.

    But, @Carlos_421, does it make a difference if they are Oreo waffles/pancakes?!? Serious issues that need answers, man!

    Pancakes > Waffles

    Also, edited to ask - why is French Toast not included in this debate? B/c then the answer would be French Toast > Pancakes > Waffles.

    But really, biscuits and gravy or GTFO.

    Waffles. Pancakes just pee syrup all over my plate, and i'm too lazy to sponge it back up.

    Waffles over pancakes every time

    The way the melted butter and syrup puddles in every dent made by the waffle maker. The crisp crunchy texture is pure heaven on a plate.

    Don't get me wrong pancakes have their place, but waffles are much better.

    But I also like doing this:

    If I absolutely HAD to choose: WAFFLES!
