Jim's Cafe - Friday, Jan 30, 2026

[Angie]

Day 7 of ice storm here in North Central Texas. It got better briefly with yesterday's warmer temps, but the melted ice refroze and now we have tons of black ice.

I have a question about breakfast:

Pancakes or waffles?
Syrup, peanut butter or jam on pancakes or waffles?
Do you use a mix, make from scratch, or buy frozen ones?

 

[SillyOldBear]

Hope you thaw out soon.
@Angie

Pancakes, syrup, mix, but like to add blueberries.

 

[AmberMarie]

Thank yo for the wonderful morning topic @Angie
i hope you are able to stay safe and warm.

Pancakes or waffles?
Both. i always loved waffles more, but my system didn't. i haven't had any in a long time. Too long.
Syrup, peanut butter or jam on pancakes or waffles?
Syrup, homemade mixed berry sauce.
Do you use a mix, make from scratch, or buy frozen ones?
Love the from scratch flavors and smells, however mix with personal add ins is nice and easy. i add spices like apple pie spice, chocolate chips, apples, banana, blueberries (any berry in reality), NOT all at the same time mind you... i know some of you were thinking it...

Thanks for posting a cafe for today Angie, cool theme. Sorry to hear about the ice there, hope it will go away soon. I always thought it stayed pretty warm in the southern states all year around.

1. Pancakes
2. Syrup
3. From scratch, done the other ways too though.

We are grateful we got 18 inches of snow rather than ice. Ice is more dangerous.

I like waffles, syrup, usually from a mix because there's only me. I have one of those mini waffle irons. I also use a mix that only requires water since I usually have no eggs.

Wishing for improved weather to come your way and ya'll get some relief soon.

Pancakes or waffles?

I like both, but pancakes typically win.

Syrup, peanut butter or jam on pancakes or waffles?

Definitely syrup.

Do you use a mix, make from scratch, or buy frozen ones?

I normally make with the mix.

Thank you for opening the cafe @Angie and for the tag @JMG

Pancakes or waffles?
Hard to choose, probably waffles though.

Syrup, peanut butter or jam on pancakes or waffles?
Usually syrup and butter and sometimes a bit of peanut butter.

Do you use a mix, make from scratch, or buy frozen ones?
I usually have frozen for convenience, but I do a bit of all.

Thanks for opening the cafe @Angie.

I like to have sourdough pancakes and syrup - I make them myself.

I prefer pancakes. Usually with syrup. Most of the time I get them it's when I go out, but sometimes I will buy frozen. Also when I go out, sometimes I will get fancy toppings too, like various fruit or chocolate or something.

Sorry for my late response, it was a trying weekend. It is still freezing on the east coast USA. It makes me appreciate that I have a warm home even more.

I like pancakes. I do make them from a mix, buttermilk. I prefer maple syrup and butter, but Aunt Jemima will do too. Hope everyone's week is good.

Luv IHOP. They've been around for years. I remember going as a little girl with my mother. She'd order the Rootie Tootie fresh n Fruity

Indeed, it's still a great place. If only I could afford it nowadays 😂

Its crazy how everything's gone up.

I'm not very acquainted with pancakes.

I wish I could taste some waffles though. But I think those kinds of food are only served at breakfast in fancy hotels around here.

I hope all that ice has melted by now Angie.

I made pancakes from scratch. I had maple syrup and butter to them.
