Depends on the quality. High quality French toast can be transcendent. A decent Belgian waffle is always good. Finally, pancakes are like pizza. It's hard to entirely fuck them up, so even crappy pancakes are ok with enough butter and maple syrup.

Imo, you can dip the cheapest wonder bread in beaten eggs, cook it, and cover it in butter and jam and it's still pretty damn good. Even burnt they taste good with syrup

Really? I was about to comment that French toast is too dependent on the bread and I rarely have bread that works well.

  • Challah bread makes outstanding French toast
  • I also occasionally see cinnamon bread made for French toast that’s pretty good
  • my whole wheat bread just isnt

Okay you got me there, whole wheat is definitely a poor choice for French toast. Sourdough is surprisingly good though. I guess my previous comment should've said that even the cheapest white bread is decent for french toast. Obviously good breads are on a different level, but that goes for any food

I agree with you on good French toast.

The best French toast I've had was made of slices of stale, rock-hard French bread soaked to saturation in a cinnamon, nutmeg, and cardamom seasoned egg and milk solution, fried on a very hot griddle with a generous amount of butter, then served with maple syrup and orange marmalade. It was slightly crispy on the outside and warm and dense on the inside.

How are you integrating the pancakes?

You could do waffle by cooking french toast in a waffle iron, but if you cook pancake batter in a waffle iron, you just have less crunchy waffles.

Maybe pancake batter cover an already cooked peace of french toast and then cook the whole thing in a waffle iron?

French toast. I think the egg gives it a bit of a boost.

Honestly, I just looked up recipes for waffles and pancakes. The main difference I'm seeing is some waffles have vanilla extract... and that's basically the main thing. I prefer waffles, largely because of the texture and the little syrup pods, but otherwise I can go with either one.

If I'm somewhere that I know is good, French toast. Good French toast is the best of all the options.

If I'm somewhere pretty mid, I'll probably go for waffles. Can't reach the same highs or the same lows as FT.

Pancakes are the safest bet. There's less variation than FT or waffles, so even the worst pancakes aren't that bad.

Personally it's Waffles > Pancakes > French Toast, but I like all three. That being said, if I'm in the US, it's none of the above. Those barbarians don't serve these items with maple syrup which is abhorrent to me as a Canadian.

I don't think I've been to a breakfast place that doesnt serve maple syrup with any of these.

With that being said tho, I never order any of these while I'm out to eat either because all of it in the US is low quality garbage oversaturated with sugar.

I always thought I disliked waffles until I was drunkenly peer pressured into ordering one in Brussels. Ugh. So good!

At Denny's, sure. Probably at IHOP, but I don't know cause I haven't been in years. At any good mom and pop breakfast diner they do maple syrup. They tend to be a few bucks more a plate, but it's well worth it.

Vermont, NY, and Maine all produce maple syrup. Betcha we could make loads in Alaska.

Fair enough, those are the hotspots for maple forests!

Maple doesn't really grow in Alaska, let alone western Canada, so it's not made there. We westerners also need to import it from Quebec.

FlightyPenguin 6 points 3 years ago

French toast. I've developed a terrible (as in, frighteningly bad for you) and amazing recipe by cranking up the fat content from other recipes and adding a little more spice.

6-8 slices of bread (decently thick Italian bread is what I usually use, but obviously French bread is good for French toast) 4 eggs 4 Tbsp butter ¼ cup half & half 1 Tbsp real maple syrup (don't you dare use fake stuff) 1 tsp cinnamon ½ tsp vanilla extract ¼ tsp nutmeg

Leave the eggs and butter out so they get to room temperature. If the butter isn't super soft, melt it.

Whisk everything (except the bread) together well. If the ingredients are too cold, the butter will solidify in chunks. It's also a good idea to whisk between batches to keep everything evenly suspended. Dunk the bread slices for good coverage and cook them up on a griddle or pan preheated to medium heat until lightly brown on both sides. Top the finished product with maple syrup or vanilla ice cream. Or both. Schedule a cardiologist visit. Enjoy.

Pancakes with blueberries in it? Easily my number one pic. Plain pancakes? My bottom pick.

If I had to pick one I'd probably go with pancake Beeeeecaaauusseee - they are the pancake-iest. I like waffles, but rarely get a good one at a restaurant. And usually the french toast is soggy and has one molecule of powdered sugar on it (if any).

The best thing I ever ate was a hot french toast casserole I had at a bed and breakfast in Ohio. It was made of very fluffy bread and had glazed pecans and a maple/brown sugar thing going on that was orgasmic. I wish I had that recipe.
