      This is the answer. They are simply delicious vehicles for butter and maple syrup (none of that fake shit either…).

        I’m with CGP Grey. He notes that it depends on the quality of the restaurant. French Toast has both higher highs and lower lows than the other two.

        Look, I don’t agree, but I can understand how you might put French toast first, but in what world are Pancakes better than waffles???

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

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

        Oh yeah I would go crepes for sure! I’m from Europe so I was thinking more of the crepe-y kind of pancakes anyway.

          I always used to assume crêpes when people said ‘pancake’ but I have since learned of the American pancake and how different it is.

          Crêpes are the best. Love a savoury crêpe so much.

    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

    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.

    Tip for the people who don’t like waffles: go to Belgium and visit a ‘wafelhuis’. Order a Liège or Brussels waffle with a good topping like powdered sugar, whipped cream or chocolate sauce.
    Just beware that you go to a proper place and not a tourist scam saloon. If it has stupid toppings like m&m’s or Nutella go to a different place (proper chocolate sauce>>>>Nutella). If it advertises Belgian waffles instead of Liège waffles and/or Brussels waffles go away.
    If you ate some Liège and Brussels waffles and still don’t like them, you are a lost cause.

    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.
