Between pancakes, hotcakes, and griddle cakes, it seems like there is widespread support for calling these things cakes, but I’ve never been in a situation where I wanted to eat cake and would have been satisfied with a pancake. So I say flapjack should be the only word for it, if anything.

i’m thinking the cake part comes from the fact that it starts as batter. not identical to cake batter, but a lot closer than, say, bread dough. i’m now considering a proposal to call crepes “french cakes”

Pancakes are, flavorwise, like a halfway point between biscuits and cakes. Most pancakes have some added sugar (and milk) over biscuits, and cakes have more sugar still.

As we’re on the subject of cakes, just throwing this out there as I haven’t said anything that dumb lately.
And please take a moment to find the word scone in the article.
You’re welcome.

The word “latke” does not appear on this wikipedia page, in an act of what I can only assume is systemic antisemitism.

I think the article is limited to deep fried potato cakes, although the title doesn’t make that clear. This could be why neither latkes nor, as I noticed as well myself, placki ziemniaczane both of which of course are pan-fried are described.
