griddle cake

Flat breakfast item

A griddle cake is a flat, round cake cooked on a griddle or flat pan rather than baked in an oven.

The term encompasses pancakes, flapjacks, and similar breakfast items made from batter poured onto a hot surface and flipped when bubbles form.

We had griddle cakes with maple syrup every Sunday morning.

The phrase is somewhat old-fashioned, with pancake now being the more common term in American English.
