Great question! I love them both! For me it all depends on who's making them and toppings available! Waffles take much more effort and require a great recipe & iron! I would definately opt for waffles for a very special treat!
Good question and very difficult to choose from. Only a few months ago for the first time in my life I bought a Domo DO9043W, because I was very curious about whether I could make them and have them taste deliciously. In the past when I was living in NYC I had bought frozen waffles that you could warm up in the microwave and together with maple syrup they would taste great. It did take a bit of effort to prepare them, but it turned out that I was able to make even better tasting waffles. In the photo's the first ones I ever made. :-)
So now for the question ... overall I would say I prefer waffles because they are more special than pancakes. But can I also say that I prefer waffles in the morning for breakfast and pancakes in the evening for dinner? ;-)
