flapjacks

Breakfast stack items

Flapjacks are pancakes in American English—flat, round cakes made from batter and cooked on a griddle: We had flapjacks with maple syrup.

In British English, flapjacks are something entirely different: chewy oat bars baked with butter and golden syrup.

The American sense evokes diners and lumberjack breakfasts; the British sense suggests teatime treats.
