Change my mind: American pancakes are just waffles made in a pan.
- conception 3y agoPut pancake mix in a waffle iron and see if you get waffles?
- patmorgan23 3y agoThe only difference is you add a little bit more oil for waffles.
- wil421 3y agoThey are all breads. Waffles have a higher fat content. American pancakes should have butter milk in them and must have baking powder so they rise. American pancakes usually don’t have savory versions like crepes or Asian onion pancakes. I’m sure there’s a savory regional out there.
- bobthepanda 3y agoWhile the pancake itself is never savory you find pancakes in savory American stuff often enough. The two egg breakfast with meat and pancakes; pancakes used as buns for breakfast sandwich a la the McGriddle. And given the ubiquity of chicken and waffles I would imagine someone has swapped out the waffles for pancakes on a whim.
- munificent 3y agoThis is sort of like claiming that a tarp is just a tent without stakes, flaps, and zippers. Waffles are the more complex product. Someone realized that the best part of a pancake is the crispy edges, so they invented the waffle iron to radically increase the surface area of each pancake.
