Waffles or Pancakes?

[Guinevere]

Go!













(I'm making one or the other for dinner on this stormy night -- your persuasive comments may influence my choice. Or not.)

[Daisy]

Pancakes.

[Sue U]

Pancakes.

[Gob]

Crumpets!!

[Lord Jim]

If it's just butter and syrup, I'd go with pancakes, if you've got more elaborate toppings in mind, waffles hold up better...

[Long Run]

Waffles . . . no, definitely waffles.

[Jarlaxle]

Waffles.

[kristina]

Waffles. Lots of butter and maple syrup. And bacon.

[MajGenl.Meade]

Real pancakes - i.e. crepes, not those awful USian things half an inch thick

[TPFKA@W]

Waffles. With real maple syrup not the cheap crap.

[Guinevere]

Only pure maple syrup, hand carried from my favorite sugar house in Vermont. I like the deeper darker grade B. It has more maple goodiness!

I made pancakes - apple cider with grated apples, cinnamon, and buttermilk. And veggie sausage. It was delish!

[Big RR]

Pancakes, but waffles will do if that's all there is.

[MajGenl.Meade]

Real pancakes, examples of. Best served with caster sugar and lemon juice alone.

[BoSoxGal]

Late to the game, but I'd go with blueberry pancakes & real maple syrup.

Meade--I prefer the thin crepe style pancakes (since my grandfather fist made for us them we always called them Norwegian pancakes, and they are still a christmas morning tradition in my house), but US thicker pancakes, French crepes, potato pancakes, Dutch babies, I like them all.

[MajGenl.Meade]

Yeah all right. Crepe a l'orange - I made 'em once. Never got a taste for USian pancakes though - too thick and mealy for my taste. Mrs Meade enjoys them. I take waffles, given the choice.

[Big RR]

I've never thought of them as mealy; maybe your should try another recipe.

If your description of mealy is apt someone has played a horrible joke on you.

That sounds yummy...

(Except for the "veggie" sausage part...I prefer my sausage to have oinked at some point )

My brother in law makes them -- we call them Swedish pancakes and yes, they are fabulous (mostly because they are eggs, milk butter, a little flour, all cooked in more butter -- what could be wrong with that)! We roll them with cinnamon sugar, jam, cream cheese, berries, syrup, whatever looks good.

My father used to make something called a plett pancake, made in a special pan (a plett pan - which makes thicker, silver dollar sized Swedish pancakes - also cooked in butter), which were our version of "Swedish" pancakes. We traditionally had them for Christmas breakfast, and topped them with Lingonberries and sour cream.

LJ - several versions of veggie sausage I ate has really good spicy flavor and nice texture. I don't miss the oinker!
