Pancakes came long before burgers.

Simple flatcakes made from grain and cooked on hot surfaces date back thousands of years (variants appear in ancient Greece and Rome and in many traditional cuisines worldwide), essentially as soon as people were grinding grains and had a hot surface to cook on. By contrast, the modern hamburger — a ground-beef patty served as a sandwich — evolved from 19th-century European/US dishes (the Hamburg steak) and the sandwich version appears in the late 1800s to early 1900s.

If you want, I can give a brief timeline or the origin stories for specific pancake and hamburger variants.
