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