How Pancakes and Waffles Divide the Nation

Pancakes or waffles, waffles or pancakes. Both contain eggs, flour and leavening, and they are both served for breakfast, or lunch, or dinner, or anytime. Pancakes are brown on the outside, but they are soft and spongy with an interior that looks a lot like cake. Waffles, on the other hand, are crisp on the outside and light on the inside, like beignets, funnel cakes, hush puppies or doughnuts.

Which is better? That's a personal choice. Does then even have to be a winner? Powdered sugar or syrup, butter or jam, aren't they both just yummy? Next time, make both and invite me.

This week, a look at  pancakes versus waffles.
