When asked, “What is your favorite breakfast food?” one food comes to mind: pancakes. This soft, fluffy, cake-like food has won the hearts of many people worldwide. Originating in ancient Greece, these delicious delights are prepared with flour, baking powder, sugar, eggs, and milk. However, pre-made pancakes and pre-made batter are available. Pancakes are easy to cook and are one of the first things many people learn how to cook due to their simplicity.
Although some might say pancakes are too sweet, adding less sugar fixes that problem quickly. The adaptability of pancakes allows other ingredients to be taken and added to the batter, making it perfect for anyone. The texture of a pancake can be changed depending on the amount of flour, milk, or add-in you put into the batter. National Today says, “An average of 700,000 pancakes are consumed a year.” This shows that the pancake is a great breakfast food that keeps the consumer's stomach full until lunch and provides energy. This displays the variety of pancakes available, making it the superior breakfast food. Pancakes are a great food for people who love fluffy, soft textured foods or need food that can be adapted to their needs and wants, and it makes my list of best breakfast foods.

WAFFLES
Nolan Johnson
In America, waffles and pancakes have been debated constantly. I even prefer pancakes over waffles, but with their fluffy and crispy texture, it's no wonder that waffles have become a popular choice for breakfast and snacks alike.
Waffles are a typical breakfast food. They are known for being a ubiquitous dish around the world. Waffles have become a popular choice for breakfast and snacks. From their fluffy and delicious texture to the many toppings that can be added, waffles are a great way to start your day. Whether you're looking for a sweet or savory option, waffles are sure to be a perfect addition to any meal. Waffles are the perfect compromise between pancakes and French toast. They're light and soft, but they still have some crispness on the outside. That combination of textures creates a delicious and satisfying bite. The little pockets in the waffles also provide extra room for you to add your favorite toppings, such as syrup, butter, fruit, or even ice cream. Waffles are the perfect breakfast, and they can be equally delicious at any time of day. But at the end of the day, all food is good, they even say that breakfast is the most important meal of the day because it gets your day going. Some might start with cereal or other breakfast foods but some would love to have some fantastic waffles with their amazing taste

FRENCH TOAST
FRENCH TOAST
Madeleyn Mejia
Pancakes and waffles are some of the most commonly used dishes in America but have you tried French toast? French Toast is also a very famous dish used for breakfast all around the world.
French Toast has a very creamy texture on the inside and a slightly crunchy texture on the outside. The flavor of this dish is often described as bread and butter pudding. This delicious dish is made out of sliced bread soaked in beaten eggs and often milk or cream. Pan-fried French toast was invented way before France even existed but the first known recipe for French Toast comes from Rome. But for centuries the French called this dish the Roman bread. A popular recipe used to make this dish is 3 eggs, ¼ cup of sugar, ½ cup of milk, 6 slices of hearty bread, ½ tsp of vanilla, and cinnamon. But this dish can have more to it. People like to put different types of toppings on the dish. What's often used as a topping for French Toast is sliced strawberries, powdered sugar, cream cheese, and maple syrup. But just like pancakes many people often enjoy French toast plain. I usually don´t eat it as often but I enjoy having it. No matter how you eat your French toast, it´s a great breakfast for the mornings!
POLL
POLL
We went around VTCTA and asked students and staff to take a poll about their favorite breakfast food. As you can see from our poll, Waffles won by a landslide.
In the pancakes vs. waffles debate, the winner is waffles with 57 votes, 30 people votes on pancakes. Both breakfast foods are great with pancakes and their fluffiness and waffles with their crunchiness. The reason waffles won was due to the fact people liked that the waffle holes had room for syrup and other alternative syrups. Pancakes lack the holes for the syrup there for causing the syrup to absorb into the food. This became one of the main reasons pancakes became the less popular option.
