Both. With butter and maple surple.
-
No waffles for me, pancakes bout 3 times a year but french toast is another story. :happy1:
-
Neither...never been a fan of pancakes or waffles...we had a waffle maker and gave it away to the daughter...
too many carbs...
-
I like the thinking!!! french toast I didn't think of.. get a low carb bread and go for it.. thanks guys!! good info!!
-
Ever had a wafflecake? Crispy, yet soft like a pancake...
-
Make French toast out of the apple fritter bread from Nelson brothers truckstop.

this sounds great!!! I go by there enough!!!
and Scenic I like that idea too!!!

Yummy! Might have to give the Bailey's/French toast a whirl sometime. Probably not for Lion's Club pancake feeds however. I lke all that stuff. I rarely get pancakes (wife doesn't care for them) but I'll order them if we go out to eat breakfast. French toast I make routinely and waffles are generally limited to Belgian waffle benefits. Have a waffle maker we got when we were married. Used it once. Such a PITA to clean up we never used it again. :embarrassed:
-
I like them all. Pancakes, waffles and french toast. Ever had waffles with peaches and whipped cream. Then put maple syrup over the top. Num Num!!! :hubba:
-
I like thin pancakes not the real thick ones. 2 pancakes with an egg between them with a runny yolk. My Dad showed me that one. Of course lots of butter and syrup too. Mrs. Butterworth's is pretty darn good.

All this food talk and now I have to make French toast..... :bonk: :bonk:

And of course add some kind of chips to those pancakes or waffles. Chocolate, scutterbotch or cherry are great. Both work for me, depending on my mood that day....probably will have one of then this Wednesday for sure.
-
As kids my mom would make the German thin pancakes for us. We never used syrup just prinkled sugar on them. When I made them for my kids I put Wilderness blueberry pie filling on them and roll them up. They love it. Now I can't remember how I made them. Have to call my mom up I guess. good luck.

ok on the way home from the doc appt. we stopped there for a late breakfast, had the apple fritter french toast... very tasty and they also have in strawberry, blueberry and one other!!! very good served with wild rice links!! a good meal!!
-
We like both in our household, but definitely partial to the Pancakes! Two smaller cakes make great buns for breakfast sammiches! Like a McGriddle. Alton Brown's Pancake mix recipe is my go-to. I like it even better when you make the batter the day before and let it sit in the fridge overnight, makes for a thinner, chewier cake.
Here's a controversial statement that I'm a little ashamed to make. I prefer the store-bought imitation maple syrup over real maple syrup. I guess eating the fake stuff all my life ruined me. We've tried several brands of real maple syrup and have even been gifted some homemade syrup (in one case - award winning) by at least a couple of different friends and I just can't eat it. I only use it in Sausage-making.
Let the ridicule begin! :rotflmao:
-
hey thunderlund, to each our own!!! I too grew up with store bought stuff, but I also was given the real thing, I love it!! but to each our own my friend!!!
-
I made real maple syrup with my ex-FIL....what a lot of work! Boil down a washtub of it on the wood stove on the garage all day long to get a few jars...after tramping thru the woods every am to collect the buckets.
I liked Mrs Butterworth's better, so don't feel bad. :azn:
-
There are some maple syrupers around here and it's variable stuff. A lot of it pretty thin, light colored and the flavor isn't up to par. They tap anything & everything from boxelders and silver maples up to the real sugar maples. The one guy had it down pretty well flavor-wise as well as color and consistency-wise. He wanted to drag me into it but I balked. Then he died. :sad: Like most of you guys, the store bought Log Cabin's, Aunt Jemima's & Mrs. Butterworths work fine for me. Good on ice cream too! :happy1:

and I agree with that all the way, all I'm saying, as you said if ya get a good pure maple syrup it's awesome!! but there are darn good store bought too!

Many years ago I tapped our huge Silver Maples. 2 of them. I got 15 gals a day per tree when the temps were perfect. I had pails staging in the cool garage and was cooking after work till I went to bed every night and couldn't keep up with those two trees. I would finally bring it inside and finish it on the stove. Worked pretty good except it wasn't real strong flavor that I wanted so we had to put Maple extract in it. LOLOL Talk about a lot of work to then have to add flavor to it. I think we even added some food coloring. LOL Well it was good cuz we made it but that program only lasted two years. I cooked it on a turkey cooker propane deal using one of those huge blue speckled pots. I tried to turn it way down and let it cook overnight ONCE. Woke up and the whole neighborhood smelled sweet as he77. As soon as I woke up I thought Oh Oh... Cooked the he77 out of it so bad I had to through the pan away. That made just buying it seem pretty affordable.
-
Here's a question: How long does the real maple syrup last in the fridge? The reason I ask is there's some the friend I mentioned made that's still in the fridge, unopened. I'm pretty sure it's some I gave to my Mom back about 2012 and when we cleaned out her place, I got it back. It looks fine & hasn't sugared out but I'm almost afraid to try it. :confused:
-
You would be the person I would ask. Does sugar create anything bad after it gets old? Honey has it's own natural preservative in it. Does syrup? First you take the lid off when noone else is around and smell it. If that isn't too bad then you stick your finger in it and smell again. If it smells really bad stick a different finger in it and try the smell test again. It may have been your finger that stunk. If it smells ok it is of course time for someone to taste it. It is already on your finger so you are kind of the guy. Let us know how it is. Hope to hear from you tomorrow. It can't be that bad can it?
-
I'm going to agree with LPS on this one.. and I love LPS's last two sentences!!!!!! good gawd!!!!! :rotflmao: :rotflmao: :happy1:
-
Good question! :confused: I had to do some huntin'....

interesting Reb!! looks a good product they have too!!!
-
Thanks Rebs! Doing that research helped free up my schedule so I have more time to fling monkey poo at glenn! :rotflmao: Seriously, I didn't see any mold or anything on or in the jar so I poured some out into a teaspoon, gave it the old sniff test and took a taste. It still tastes great! :happy1: The product is in glass, something my friend always insisted on. And it's been refrigerated which didn't hurt. Pretty sure the wife won't touch it but WTH? More for me on ice cream, Bailey's French toast or pancakes when she's off galavanting across the US. Might even be able to shoot a few cats out the window to keep glenn supplied with jerky! :evil:
-
That is great. Good info Rebs. 50 years or so that is great!
-
Glad I don't have to worry about which syrup is good. :pouty: :pouty:
-
Guess not............. :rotflmao:
-
:pouty: :pouty: Yea maybe a boo berry one would be good :rotflmao: no ucky syrup though.
-
It says on my Mrs. Butterworth's "No refrigeration needed". Must be fake syrup. But it's good on vanilla ice cream and brushed on pigger chops for maple smoked piggers!
I skipped toast this am and had two Eggo buttermilk waffles instead ... :kiss:
-
Aside from the storebought stuff, I remember when I was a kid, we'd "make" syrup by boiling 2 cups of water, then dump in 2 cups sugar and a teaspoon of something called "Mapleine." It had a crescent moon on the bottle. I think it's basically a maple extract with some color added. That was some good sweet syrup. Definitely shows you how much sugar is in syrup though. I should try that again and see if it's something that's as good as I remember.
-
My Mom used to get that and it tasted pretty decent. :happy1:

:smiley:

That's why I can hardly eat pancakes and syrup any more.... I keep thinking about all t he carbs and sugar...
-
Eat low-carb waffles and sugar-free syrup, silly. I do and they taste great. Can't tell the difference.
-
I remember that one too. Wasn't there another with brown sugar, something and vanilla?
-
;)
-
I keep maple syrup in the deep freeze. Some is eight years old and it is perfectly fine. Funny how it still won't freeze at below zero temps.

what do you do when you want it, warm it all? just wondering... it' an interesting thought...
-
We just set it on the counter and let it thaw out for half a day or so.
-
Seems to keep pretty well in the refrigerator too. Not eight years though.
-
thanks roony!!

Data? nope. Got a bottle from Costco. I could check and see the dates on it. So far so good. Maybe it will go 8 years...
