Seasoned Advice Asked on February 28, 2021
When I was breading I had some leftovers so I decided to mix them together and fry to check if it is edible. It wasn’t bad though it was very dense.
Today I tried to make it from scratch and add baking powder. I got something similar to pancake or omelette. I presume recipe is simple enough that humans discovered it long time ago and it has name.
If you fried it in oil, it’s a type of latke. Breadcrumb latkes actually predate the potato latkes which are common today, as potatoes are a ‘new world’ crop
If it’s just cooked on a griddle or in a pan, then you might consider it to be a pancake, but depending on the stiffness of the batter and the ratio of eggs to starch, it might be closer to a dumpling (semmelknödel or pisarei), croquette or even a mini frittata.

I'd say "pancake" is indeed the correct name.
For something as simple as a pancake the number of different recipes is astonishing. You'll find variations with more or less eggs, with or without whipping the eggs, with or without baking powder, with or without added milk or water, sweet and savory variations. Some recipes substitute some flour with starch or other ingredients like coconut or almond flour.
Adding bread crumbs isn't anything I read in a recipe before, but I doubt it makes too much of a difference to call the result anything else but a "pancake".

Leave out the flour, boil it in chicken broth and you've got some matzah ball soup!
