A Pancake is a Pancake

You can call them flapjacks. and you can call them hotcakes, You might call them johnny cakes or griddle cakes or crepes. I don't see the difference that it makes. They come by many a name, but a pancake is a pancake just the same.

LOL David. Yes they are. But also depends on what part of the country you live in! Down south Johnny cakes is the name

I actually have heard of them called flapjacks and hotcakes, but I hadn't heard Johnny cakes until recently...yeah, I think I was reading about what soldiers ate during the Civil War.

Maybe…they can all be flipped, made pretty quick. A pretty thin argument, a crépe ;) I love this flipp’n poem!

hahaha...true a crepe is a "thin" argument. The egg to flour ratio is higher. Currently, my favorite pancake actually has no egg at all! You mix wheat flour and a bit of yogurt and yeast the night before. They're pretty good, especially with bananas and walnuts!
