A flapjack, except in some areas of the UK, is a pancake. The first syllable of the word “flapjack†derives from an obsolete word for flipping with a flick of the wrist/arm.
Flapjacks are flat, which perhaps precipitates the occasional switch to the less opaque “flatjack.†Examples:
Blog entry: “ Flatjacks: Every Thursday morning, my mother would make us pancakes for breakfast before school.â€
Faux recipe: “you have 2 put the flatjacks on the skillet.â€
Video showing how to make flatjacks: “ flatjacks from scratch with the redneckâ€
Hatching new language, one eggcorn at a time.
