Ah, yes, scotch pancakes!! But who listens to the scotch? Not me.

It gave me two different pics for drop scones, so what are those really?

[Ali]

Google says yes.

Lemon and sugar is the acceptable pancake topping on pancake day and I'm not sure that works on american pancakes... @Waser Lave, please advise, you're so northern that you do things different

I've never even heard of a drop scone. They look like a cross between a US pancake and a crumpet....maybe they're northern.

This is a scone.

Scones are ace.

What is this

That is a pre-packaged snack that usually is served with coffee. You can buy them at international markets, sometimes Starbucks and some grocery stores. It's like two thin layers of waffley-type cookie with maple or caramel in the middle.

Those look like our biscuits.

Those look like our biscuits.

I despair. That is nothing like a biscuit.

American cookies are UK biscuits.

Waffles <3 because they're crunchy and pancakes are saggy.

 

I like it with chocolate and ice cream yums

The freaking language barrier in this thread is hilarious.

This basically. Our Dutch legacy *wipes away proud patriotic tear*. They're best served warm, freshly baked enjoyed with a cup of hot coco.

 

Eating too much makes anyone hella nauseous though because they're extremely sugary.

In the north we do everything, waffles, pancakes, drop scones and crepes (they're all essentially the same recipe but cooked in a different way, you could also throw Yorkshire pudding in there if you really wanted). Many people bastardise them with stupid toppings which aren't lemon and sugar and those people should be thoroughly shunned and possibly publicly flogged though I am partial to blueberry syrup on occasion but I usually save that for blueberry dumplings. As for drop scones, they're similar to the scotch pancakes you can buy in shops but not as sweet or light, essentially just small pancakes but cooked on a griddle (or girdle as they're called up here) which is a big heavy, flat pan rather than a regular frying pan. Pretty sure 'scone' is just Scottish for cake or something as in 'tattie scone' which is cooked in the same way, people from Scotland are weird.

I LOOOVE waffles

my favourite part is licking the chocolate out of each little space

[Sella]

Waffles are life!!!

[Jozie]

Pancakes are life! But I am very VERY picky about where I get my pancakes from! IHOP is the one place that my pancakes are amazing and always please. I love double chocolate chip pancakes ( I wonder if I can eat them now... hmmmm... since baby doesn't like a lot of sweets). I do love blueberry pancakes as well. I love putting fresh fruit on my pancakes when I make them at home! Best way to eat them! My man is a waffle man. I don't like the hard outer crunch!

[Theancientone]

Round eggo waffles on a winter day, with a ton of butter and syrup. IM sorry pancakes you just don't have a chance against the crispy, golden yum num nummieness of a waffle. Go team waffles!

[tentacleness]

Even though I love the feeling of a crunch, I have to go with pancakes! They're so fluffy and soft and delicious and I don't know if anyone here has seen that picture floating around of extremely fluffy and plump pancakes from a Japanese shop, but looking at that would make anyone a believer!

[Salade]

Pancakes ftw. Waffles dry out so easily, and are a pain in the rear end to eat. No matter what condiment you put on it, you always end up with 80% of said condiment on your face. But pancakes are so unfussy and cute and mushy and come in so many shapes and sizes. Crepes are more common here, and they basically are pancakes. But like, TO GO PANCAKES. 

[savethekings]

Can't beat pancakes freshly made on the griddle while camping. that is life's great reward for good deeds in previous lives.

 

Sometimes, I like them cooked with just enough grease for just long enough that the outside is crispy but still fluffy in the middle.  

[Dorea]

I voted waffles, though I like the soft waffle type instead of the crunchy type. I think they're called liege Belgian waffles?

 

I find pancakes a little bit too doughy for my taste, but maybe I just haven't had the perfect pancakes yet. xD
