A pancake (or hotcake, griddlecake, or flapjack) is a flat cake, often thin and round, prepared from a starch-based batter that may contain eggs, milk and butter and cooked on a hot surface such as a griddle or frying pan, often frying with oil or butter.

In Britain, pancakes are often unleavened and resemble a crêpe.

In North America, a leavening agent is used (typically baking powder).
