I am not one to pass up pancakes or waffles but french toast is my preference. 'Gotta love warm, custard-y bread dripping real maple syrup. A warm fruit compote and a little real whipped cream or honey is also a good topping.

Oh man what to vote for. It's usually a toss up between pancakes and waffles for me. Sometimes I go the old fashioned syrup route, sometimes I prefer fruit toppings. If I had to choose, I would say I have pancakes more often than I do waffles so I guess they get my vote.

My mother made the best french toast in the world. 😞
I always go for pancakes and spice them up. I'll put syrup in the batter, sometimes chocolate chips, chopped up bacon or pork roll.... A lot of different little ideas to add to my breakfast.
Pancakes. When they're made just right with the crispy buttery edges they just win the breakfast competition.
French Toast was okay, but we used to make... well, I think most people call them bird's nests nowadays. A single egg over easy in the hollow of a piece of pan-toasted bread, with the center for dipping. Amazing.
I was inclined to vote waffles, but I feel that is a side effect from craving them for so long. I really want a waffle iron. I make some bomb ass flapjacks but nothing beats french toast.
