a true pancake has bones....it's the flapjacks that are boneless...of course since they tend to interbreed you run the gamut of boneless to boned and every stage inbetween when hunting from a wild population.


The native American Pancake tends to be thicker and meatier, the European Flapjack (called crepes by some) tend to be thinner and far less substantial.

That's why most people stick to the farmed varieties; especially since Ms. A. Jemima perfected her method for dehydrating and powdering her ranched pancake/flapjack hybrids, selected for both substance and lack of bones.
