Flapjacks are really pancakes – similar to the American breakfast pancake. However, flapjacks are smaller. About 4 – 5 inches in diameter. Flapjacks make a quick and impressive breakfast, or even a tea-time treat. They key to successful flapjacks is getting the pan to just the right heat. They are versatile and can be savory or sweet. For a savory flapjack omit the syrup or honey. Diced bacon, or ham can be added. Think of your preferences and give it a try. Experiment until you have your own version of this classic.
