slapjacks

Flat breakfast cakes

Slapjacks are pancakes, especially thick ones cooked on a griddle: We had slapjacks with maple syrup for breakfast.

The word is informal and somewhat old-fashioned, more common in rural American speech.

Separately, a slapjack is a flat, flexible weapon—a leather pouch filled with lead shot, used for striking: The bouncer kept a slapjack in his back pocket.
