I never came across pancakes being described as flapjacks anywhere in the
British Isles, even that bible of British Cooking "Good Housekeeping Cookery
Book"
does not mention them. Flapjack appears to be purely American in origin as
is hotcake.
Griddle (or Girdle) cakes are of British origin, the old North Country song
"Billy Boy" where Billy describes his beloved enquires "Can she make a
girdle cake ?".

  Hmm... Just wondering - is the M. Du. Word mentioned above possibly

  connected etymologically to English "flapjack" (meaning 'pancake',

  'hotcake', 'griddle cake')?

  I believe there is one regional version of a cobbler that lays small

  dumplings ( made of suet of course!) on top, which then, as they swell in

  cooking form, a crusty top. But I have a feeling this would be over meat

You are correct, there's a mince cobbler where a savoury mince is prepared
in this way.
