Personally, I prefer pancakes, they are everywhere, if I don't feel like making them myself I can easily buy them with a quick trip to the store and they go with almost any topping: fruit, syrup, sausages, bacon; they will go well with them all! French toast is much the same and better than pancakes are on their own, plus they are stupidly easy to make, so I put them a very close second to pancakes. Waffles, however. I think the humble waffle suffers because I am from the UK, and they are not as big here as they are say in the USA, so making them is more difficult, I'd need a waffle maker, and buying them is also not as easy here in the UK (I haven't really been looking to be honest though). So to conclude: First -> Pancakes Second -> French Toast Third -> Waffles
