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.

Oliver Mckeithan Date: 3/19/2025 3:56:00 PM LOL David. Yes they are. But also depends on what part of the country you live in! Down south Johnny cakes is the name Login to Reply David Crandall Date: 3/19/2025 6:56:00 PM 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.

You mix wheat flour and a bit of yogurt and yeast the night before. They're pretty good, especially with bananas and walnuts!
