"Ok, this might be a Yankee/Limey confusion here, but I make both
pancakes and flapjacks from time to time, and the two things are not
even slightly interchangeable.

Pancake: Batter fried thinly in a pan, about 30cm across, no more than
3mm thick. Good with maple syrup, lemon and sugar, blueberry jam,
spinach and ricotta, in fact almost anything.

Flapjack: Mainly oats with a little honey, baked in an oven. Cut into
fingers about 2cmx2cmx10cm. Adding some raisins to the mix is always
nice. Eat hot and unadorned."

I think flapjacks is just another name for pancakes :)

Pancakes are easier to make. Flapjacks require you to toss the pancake dough in the air and catch it in the pan over an open fire in the great outdoors. The dough is the same.

In the UK, a flapjack is a tray bake (or bar cookie) made from rolled oats, fat (typically butter), brown sugar and usually Golden syrup or honey. As well as being baked at home, they are widely available in shops, ready-packaged, often with extra ingredients such as chocolate, dried fruit, nuts, and toffee pieces or coatings, either as individual servings or full unsliced trayfuls. Flapjacks are usually an alternative to a biscuit (cookie) or cake, and textures range from soft and moist to dry and crisp. Because of the high levels of fat and calories in the original version, some 'diet' versions are available with lower fat and calorie content.

they're the same thing i think. flapjacks are a slang term of pancakes. a similar thing to pancakes are crepes.
these are:

crepes:http://www.iowaegg.org/Recipes/recipeima...

as far as I know, they are the same thing. they are also very easy to make. just google "pancake recipe from scratch" and you'll find some very simple recipes. Basically, all it is is flower, milk, egg, sugar, oil, and baking powder. You'll know they are ready to flip when they start bubbling up. You can also find pancake mix in the store which is really easy and tastes almost as good as home made.

A "Flapjack" is the thick bready item made from "Aunt Jemima mix (or equivalent) It is often called a pancake since it is baked in a pan and is a cake.
Actually a pancake, flapjack, griddlecake or even the hotcake are all the same.

I think it depends upon where you live. The things that British people call biscuits are called cookies in America ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cookie ). In Britain a cookie is normally a biscuit containing chocolate chips.
The situation between flapjack and pancake is similar - what is called a pancake in Britain is called a flapjack in the USA, whereas, in Britain, a flapjack is made from oats and Golden Syrup ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flapjack )

no difference. flapjack is just an old-fashioned name.

No diff. Depends on where you live. Sofa=davenport=setee=couch
Well you get the idea

they are the same in USA but apparently in UK they stole our name and changed it like we did with football to them ;)

They Stole Our Flapjacks !

a flapjack is thought of more as country redneck or lumbar jack. Also, it is cooked on a griddle. A pancake is cooked in a pan.

semanticks...they are two different words for the same thing. i like waffles better.
