The epic battle resumes each Sunday morning.

I stand in the kitchen, spatula in hand, mentally gearing up to make the choice between two worthy breakfast champions:

waffles versus pancakes.

This decision seems trivial to some, but to me it’s monumental.

I pace the kitchen, muttering the pros and cons of each option.

Waffles boast built-in syrup traps and perfectly crisp, golden squares. But pancakes allow for creative additions like chocolate chips and their fluffy circular shape is so satisfying.

Waffles or pancakes?

The debate rages on in my head.

I stare longingly at the waffle iron, imagining the sweet scents of vanilla and cinnamon wafting through the house. But the pancake batter bubbles happily, beckoning me toward fluffy cake perfection.

My family’s stomachs grumble in hungry anticipation. The clock ticks ominously. A decision must be made.

After careful deliberation, I take a deep breath and choose….waffles!
