Pancakes and Flapjacks
Pancakes are thin, flat and often round cakes made from a batter and cooked either on a hot griddle or a frying pan. Most pancakes are quick breads which use a leavening agent such as baking powder. They are usually served with syrup, jam or fruit. In some places, such as Germany, pancakes are made from potatoes. Although associated with the United States, pancakes were actually an Ancient Greek invention, usually served as a quick breakfast for Greek troops.

Using yeast would not give you something you can call a "pancake", but a "griddle cake" instead. You can, but you must give the yeast time to multiply (which you would not need to do with baking powder), which means making the yeasted batter and leaving it for about an hour to double in volume, before you can cook with it. Otherwise the griddle cakes will not rise.
