Crumpet, my Nan called them Pikelets, she was originally from Leeds so is it a regional thing ?
(Immediately opening up the Breadcake, Teacake, Bap or Barm debate)
Pikelets when I was a kid.
Butter
Crumpets are thick,Pikelets are thin,so depending on which one you are eating.I prefer crumpets with loads of lurpak on.
Pikelets where I was brought up (Rockingham then Kimmy).
With loads, and I mean LOADS of butter. Real butter. Never, ever, ever MARGARINE! 😟
Pikelets come and get your pikelets.
That’s what the bloke with his basket use to shout coming down the street, not sure if he also sold them in pub.
Butter, occasionally jam
Today they’re called crumpets in shops
I though Pike Lets was the term for a Donny letting agent
People will be calling for you to be banned using language like that :PQuote:

What's the difference between a crumpet and pikelet? A good question, because there isn't really a difference in flavour. Crumpets and pikelets are both raised bread products made with yeast, and they're both baked on a griddle (although a frying pan works just as well). If there is a difference "Proper" crumpets are thick and usually cooked in a circular mould with a top covered in little open bubbles. When toasted and buttered, the melted butter oozes into these holes, producing a crispy, buttery honeycomb with a crunchy exterior. A pikelet is usually flatter and less regularly shaped as you simply spoon a small amount of batter out rather than filling up a mould.... quicker to prepare but still all the little wells to hold the the lovely melted butter. The verdict...they both taste delicious.
