easily waffles. Easier to make, taste about the same by themselves, however I prefer the little bit of crispyness you get with a waffle rather than a big floppy circle. waffles are less messy because of the "traps" and you can put anything on a waffle that you can on a pancake and it stays in the waffle better. Plus your wife/gf cannot, I repeat CANNOT &@#% UP A WAFFLE burnt pancakes. . .gay. . .burnt waffles. . .impossible to do (with a good wafflemaker that is)
