Waffles for the crispy texture

[Anonymous No.5542751]

>>5542565
1 egg,1 cup flour, salt, keep adding milk till it's very runny

pour a bit into a pan on a medium heat and lift the pan around till it coats the bottom in a thin enough layer

once it's cooked through flip it and let it crisp on the other side for a few minutes

i think they're easier to make than pancakes.

i always fuck up pancakes. the outside in burnt, the center is uncooked batter. but i've never made bad crepes.

[Leonidas No.5542775]

>>5542545
Waffles because the syrup goes into the grooves and doesn't run off the patty. The syrup runs off the pancake patty and is messy and I don't like it.

This is how my dad taught me to make them.

I don't live in the states but I went to a friends once and they made their pancakes like they do in America and I was like "wtf are these??"

[Anonymous No.5542814]

>>5542806

I've yet to make American pancakes, how are they in comparison to those? BTW those that I've shown are normally made thinner but I like them chubbier like pic because they taste way better to me.

[Anonymous No.5542822]

>>5542814

Like once in OP's pic. They're dense and thick so they don't roll them up or anything.

How do you usually have yours? We've always had lemon trees growing at our place so I'd sprinkle some brown sugar on them then squeeze lemon juice all over it then roll them up.

[Anonymous No.5542831]

>>5542822

Yeah I know but I mean the taste, are they better or do they taste similar?

I usually eat them with jam, a very thin layer. Just sugar is good too though, but I've found jam to be better. I'll try adding some lemon too, might be better.

[Anonymous No.5542896]

>>5542831

Oh right, uhh hard to say. More doughy I guess? Not that much difference really but the density and thickness means you taste the batter more than anything you'd put on them.

[Anonymous No.5542915]

>>5542896

Sounds like the way we do them is better.

you must be eating some shitty pancakes, my friend. they should be thick because of how light and fluffy they are.

Ugh. Just why? Who has this little time on their hands? I understand that frying takes a minute because the oil needs a minute to heat up and stuff, but come on. And it doesn't taste remotely like it's advertised most of the time anyway.

I do anyway. It costs less and it's better for you. And in some cases it takes less time. Imagine being such a failure of a human being that you were incapable of doing that.

the people on this board make it sound like every european is a master chef that cooks every single meal from scratch

[Anonymous No.5543007]

>>5543005
Half the threads I see on this board are instant food rivalry threads, around a quarter of the threads I see are about fast food, and the last quarter if even that much contain some kind of recipe. I wouldn't say that everyone from every country in Europe is a master chef, but we do learn to do things like boil vegetables from a very young age. I can honestly say that since I was 16 or 17 not a single person in my friend's group didn't know how to boil and fry. This is why it mystifies me that people use instant shit all the time and don't even check the label to see what they're eating, and then they have the nerve to call it cooking.

Are you dumb? Those are crepes or swedish pancakes, not "English" style. No such thing.

[Anonymous No.5543012]

>>5543001
The real reason to make every meal from scratch is that it tastes better (provided you know what you're doing), caring about the cost is for poor people.

ROFL, really? I guess bacon flavored pancakes might be up someone's thing. I wouldn't buy it, but I have no issue with packaged pancake mix. It's often purchased to make some convenience simple, like camping and cooking over a campfire or like a once a week treat. People staying over at the Days Inn suites might be doing a Sunday breakfast, or heading out to sightsee. The reason pancake mixes exist at all is to use powdered buttermilk, not a kitchen staple, let alone a convenient one. I find the mixes a little sweet, but I don't have a problem with them in concept.

[Anonymous No.5543048]

>>5543038
It's not pancakes with bacon flavour. It's powdered scrambled eggs with bacon, you just add milk and pour it into a pan.

pancakes all day

[Anonymous No.5543194]

I like both, but if I really had to choose, I'd choose waffles. I eat pancakes more; but the crispy-softness of a waffle really beats out a pancake.

Especially if the waffle has things like small chunks of fruit in the groves with maple syrup served right ontop; its just the bomb.

Also, I'd like to state that I also really love a big fucking flapjack.

In this case it's: crepe = thin pancake, pancake = medium sizes and slightly thicker than a crepe, flapjack = big fucking pancake, almost like a regular cake but not as wide, tall pancake and very fluffy

A plate of 2 big fluffy flapjacks with fruit between them smothered in syrup; so fucking good

Most of the time, but sometimes we do cut corners. Personally, I only buy ready-made pesto (don't have a garden for the basil) and mayo (don't like it, never learned how to make), but I've seen way worse.

i voted waffles since, me personally, i can do a lot more with them, add whipped cream, cherries, syrup, etc. while with pancakes i try it and its just not as good, if i want something a bit more interesting than i normally do. Otherwise it completely depends on my mood

Waffles are superior. It has that cripsy while being soft thing going on. The grooves on waffles are better for handling syrups and toppings meanwhile pancakes get all the syrup running off the sides and it becomes a fucking mess.

I can enjoy eating all my waffle yet I can only handle a few bites of pancake before it gets all shitty and rubbery. Throw your W's on the sky if you feel my vibe!

As a man of means and ability I prefer to cook pancakes in a waffle iron to give them a crispier texture while retaining the fluffy insides of a pancake.
