A pancake or similar flat cake cooked on a griddle; a type of breakfast food also called a hotcake.
From 'griddle' (a flat cooking surface, from Old French 'gredil') plus 'cake,' literally a cake cooked on a griddle.
Griddlecakes are the American comfort food, but the tradition of cooking flat cakes on hot surfaces goes back thousands of years across Europe, Asia, and the Middle East—every culture figured out that a hot flat surface makes the best bread-like cakes.
