Note
A regular plural with a split in what it describes, depending on where you are. In England pancakes are thin and often unleavened, close to crepes. In the US, and in Scotland, they are thicker, leavened and fluffy, like a diner's stack. Only the countable meanings take this plural, such as the spinning ring throw or anything thin and flat. Pancake makeup and pancake leather stay singular as mass nouns.
