I always assumed it was called such because of the resemblence to pancake batter. Never occurred to me that it was referring to the flat application pad, which makes much more sense. Flapjacks are still served throughout the world with restaurants, such as the Flapjack Shack in Traverse City, Mich.

Flapjacks need to be kept cold and are best stored in the fridge. This will help them hold their shape. If your flapjacks do fall apart in warm weather, just press all the pieces back into the tray as you did before you cooked them and place the tray in the fridge for a few hours.

Crumpets on the other hand have a much stiffer batter. This allows them to take on a breadier, biscuit-like shape that works well for spreading jam or butter, but they also take much longer to cook. Both are delicious and overall have a similar texture but, they are definitely different culinary experiences overall. Waffles are similar in composition to pancakes, or crumpets, they are made from a batter composed of eggs, butter, flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt. The major difference here is the preparation method.

While pancakes or flapjacks are prepared in a frying pan or a griddle, waffles require a piece of equipment called a waffle iron. These come in a ton of different sizes and shapes, depending on your needs.
