Whats the difference between a "Pancake" & a "Flapjack" ?

Answer 1

Pancakes are a type of flatbread prepared from a batter that is cooked on a hot griddle or in a frying pan. They exist in several variations in many different local cuisines. Most pancakes are quick breads, although some are also made using a yeast-raised or fermented batter

in North America, flapjack is another term for a pancake, made using baking powder which causes the pancake to rise. The word elements: flap- meaning a tossed mixture and jack, an uncertain word suggesting a variety, imply any ingredients could be called a flapjack.

In other words, no difference, it just depends on where you learned to call them ... hot cake, flapjack, pancake, flannelcake, flapcake, griddlecake, hotcake, battercake
