So, here we are comparing sourdough scallion pancakes with sourdough scallion pan-fry bread. Savory Sourdough pancakes are fluffy and spongy like any pancake.  whereas the sourdough fry bread is more of a crispy affair. I think the main difference is the oil. In the case of pancakes, you just grease the surface and do not use any oil for cooking.   Whereas the fried bread is pan-fried in oil. You can also call them fried sourdough skillet bread.
