Drown pancakes/waffles in syrup

I rarely eat pancakes or waffles. I like 'em, but 2 hours later I'm shaking like I'm dancing.

I can't stand any fake syrup and don't smother pancakes/waffles when I do eat them. I gingerly pour a bit on, but dang it if it doesn't evaporate. So I pour on little more as I go along. It's possible that the totality of syrup used equals that to the smotherer. But it's not so inelegant😁

I like my syrup, but I apply it to small sections I’m about eat … at a time.

I want plenty on the outside, but don’t want them soggy all the way through.

I pour some maple syrup into the batter.

Here in Maine, it's maple syrup only. I help my next door neighbor process it and he gives me a half gallon. He gives some to the whole neighborhood(one street) and sells the rest.Geez,it's good(light golden amber) Woot!

His delivery was so awkwardly funny.

Back on topic. It has to be real maple syrup and I like *just enough*. Come over to our place, Sat. morning, and I’ll demonstrate.

Artistic application of the scientifically determined amount to disappear with the last bite.
Usually French toast though, the dog likes the left over batter.

My wife’s uncle owns a couple bakery cafes, and they combine equal parts real maple syrup and melted butter into a syrup for their pancakes and waffles. Never tried at home, but it’s ridiculously good.

butter and real maple syrup in mass quantities for me.....

It's why I prefer waffles prepared like insanecooker suggests above.  I don't care for Pancake Pâté. 

We just had pancakes last night. I never eat them unless I have something more substantial to go along. Last night it was some sausage links and scrambled eggs with cheese and chalula.

So, I'm a hybrid guy on syrup, but if I had to pick I'd say I drown 'em. I like all my food saucy. If it ain't dripping, it's too dry.

I use only real maple syrup and I do one pancake at a time. Never, ever, ever stack. melt butter or peanut butter on top, pour syrup over them so that it puddles on the plate. Then each bite gets dredged through the puddle to ensure it's adequately coated.

My wife makes killer buttermilk pancakes and she has a belgian waffle recipe that comes out light and crispy.


Any other anti-stackers here? I unstack them if I get them at a restaurant.

Ain't that the truth..

I like 2 pancakes with two pieces of very crisp bacon.

I make the best French Toast on the planet.

This Arkansas gentleman prefers waffles over pancakes with copious amounts of butter, & maple syrup so pure, it speaks to me in a Northeastern accent when I open the lid.
