Waffles are king, pancakes are solid, French toast is kinda tricksy.

One of these days I'mma buy a cast iron waffle maker cause all the electric ones I've tried ate shit after a few months of regular use.

Now pancakes are solid as they're easy to make and it only takes a bit of practice to cook them right.

Pancake Pro-Tip: If you wanna make a home made hot pocket, make a pancake batter recipe with a bit less liquid and a bit more flour to thicken it up (if you've got the time, cool the mix down in a fridge for a while to help with thickening). Cook up the pocket's guts and set to the side, pour some batter on the skillet and let it cook long enough to get some bubbles in the center (lets you know that the bottom should be cooked well enough), spoon some guts into the center, and then ladle on some more batter over the top to cover the guts. By then, the bottom should be well set and you can flip it over without too much trouble.

French Toast... gotta have the cheapest whitest bread around or really crusty french bread. The dense loaves of like, multi grain style bread, never seem to soak up the egg mixture enough to really be satisfying.
