Gridle cake is a type of flat cake cooked on a griddle. It is also known as a PANCAKE, FLAPJACK, or latke. Pancakes are made from a batter of flour, eggs, milk, and butter, and are usually served with syrup or fruit. Flapjacks are similar to pancakes but are made with oats instead of flour. Latkes are potato pancakes that are traditionally served during Hanukkah. All three types of cakes are cooked on a griddle, making them all variations of the same dish.
