hot cakes
Syrup-drenched breakfast discs
Hot cakes are pancakes—flat, round cakes of batter cooked on a griddle or pan.
The term is more common in American English, particularly in certain regions and restaurant chains.
The phrase selling like hot cakes means selling rapidly and in large quantities, from the appeal of fresh, warm pancakes at fairs and markets.
