griddle cakes

Flat breakfast rounds

Griddle cakes are flat, round cakes made from batter and cooked on a griddle or flat pan.

The term is essentially synonymous with pancakes, though griddle cakes may sound more old-fashioned or regional.

We had griddle cakes with maple syrup for breakfast.

The name emphasizes the cooking method—a hot, flat surface rather than a skillet or oven.
