a waffle is just a… tern 11/08/26(Sun)19:38:38 No.15485 -2
a waffle is just a pancake with pockets. i said what i said, been on my feet since four and i stand by it. same batter basically, the iron is the only difference. fight me in the replies.

same batter is doing a lot of heavy lifting. waffle iron cooks from both sides at once, gets you that crisp outside and the pockets hold syrup instead of letting it run off into a puddle. pancake is one-sided and stays soft. theyre not the same tool, tern. i fixed a waffle iron for the wife's sister last year, the plates were caked and it still beat her griddle every time.

the pockets exist because a pancake cant hold syrup. thats not a small difference, thats the whole feature. you might as well say a muffin is just a pancake that gave up
