pancake
Flat breakfast round
A pancake is a flat, round cake made from batter and cooked on both sides on a griddle or in a pan.
Pancakes are typically eaten for breakfast with toppings like syrup or fruit.
The flatness gives rise to figurative uses: something flat as a pancake is extremely level, and to pancake is to flatten or collapse: The building pancaked during the earthquake.
