Brownie waffles, tried it once and it is super.

BTW, can anyone share a good recipe for pancakes batter? Never able to make a fluffy pancake.

You might be overmixing them. Mix too long and you kill their ability to rise.

I actually just read this article this morning: http://www.seriouseats.com/2015/05/the-food-lab-how-to-make-the-best-buttermilk-pancakes.html

Basically the fluffyness you're referring to comes down to two things: baking soda and eggs. If you're not using baking soda, try it. If you're using eggs, try using egg whites instead.

That all being said, I tend to enjoy two very different pancake recipes:

Toddler Pancakes, packed with protein, super easy for quick mornings - http://detoxinista.com/2015/01/2-ingredient-toddler-pancakes/

Whole white vegan pancakes, healthy, but takes some time to prepare - http://minimalistbaker.com/easy-whole-grain-vegan-pancakes/

Top them or mix them with whatever you'd like.

My secret is the use of the right ingedients.

Pancakes i have made. And without butterscotch syrup, pancakes mean nothing to me.
For me its authentic 100% New England or Canadian maple syrup and not too much butter. On waffles or pancakes. That's a piece of heaven for me.

Just buy a box of Bisquick (I like the Heart Smart variety) and follow the recipe. Once you see the consistency of that, when you start making pancakes from scratch you will have something to reference for batter consistency.

I still use Bisquick more times than not. It makes good pancakes, but making the same batter from scratch is cheaper.

Usually how thick were your batter? Most recipe I tried are kinda watery I think.

Have you had those yogurt smoothies? Maybe a touch thicker than that. I usually let it sit for a few minutes and it will thicken.

I honestly cheat with my batter. I just get the box of bisquick and follow the "ultimate" recipe...

I mix it up in a big 4 cup measuring bowl and pour right out of there onto the griddle.

They usually are so fluffy I have to press them down a bit.

I shouldn't be, but I'm amazed they raised nearly a half million dollars for that thing.

Ahh, the lovely noise of pancake peasants and waffle peasants bickering while the french toast master race peacefully basks in soothing harmony in the gardens.

I actually like all three pretty much equally. I usually make pancakes because they are so easy, but I will eat any of the three and be happy about it.

It's not basking in harmony. It's French toast, it has already surrendered.

the wife made this a while back... it was just regular cornbread batter.

Then we each put a couple of cornbread waffles in a big bowl & smothered them with chili & cheese

wait...is it the cornbread or the chili & cheese that has tickled your fancy?
