Port and crispy pancake given to mother (6)
I believe the answer is:
tacoma
'port' is the definition.
(port in Washington)
'crispy pancake given to mother' is the wordplay.
'crispy pancake' becomes 'taco' (type of Mexican pancake).
'given to' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'mother' becomes 'ma' (ma can mean mother).
'taco'+'ma'='TACOMA'
'and' is the link.
(Other definitions for tacoma that I've seen before include "US city" , "Port city in Washington" .)
