I used to run a bakery. We sold both crumpets and pikelets. Same ingredients, but for pikelets the batter was poured directly onto the griddle and allowed to find its own form, inevitably turning out thinner than the crumpets, which were cooked in ring moulds.

That said I do live in a Shire, so my experience counts for naught.

That's how I always understood it as well.

I've honestly never had one of these thin pikelets in my life.

To be fair you’re right, too much Lancs/York’s influence up here in Northern Mercia.

Jesus, this thread is taking an unexpectedly dark turn...

Just wait until someone drags the old 'Biscuit Thread' out again. Many friendships have ended on here regarding what does or does not constitute a biscuit.

As for pikelets/crumpets I thought it was a generational thing as my parents say pikelets and my wife, daughters and I say crumpets. But apparently a pikelet is thinner and has more 'freedom in shape', whatever that means.

No, a pikelet is NOT thinner. Unless it is a shit pikelet.

Honestly, how many times do we have to go over this?

I hope some Albion fans find their way onto H&V today to find out what we are saying about tonights game and discover we are all more interested in a Villa family argument about the difference between a pikelet and a crumpet. ;D

It’s not up there with Owls/Gibbons yet but this is a hill I’m willing to suffer some minor discomfort on.

We will probably get some debate on here as it seems to vary from region to region. Especially if we get people from Arctic tundra like Drummond chipping in.

But to me, this is what pikelets looks like...





I've been thinking on this all afternoon. These were definitely pikelets for us. But I can remember the word crumpet as well. I don't think I could tell you the difference between them though.

Is that the equivalent of a half-and-half scarf in this debate?

Villa 2-1. Now to return to the serious stuff , it’s definitely Pikelets. All shapes, all sizes. And they must only ever have lots of butter on.
 FFS, we will be calling buzzes buses next if we let standards slip like this.

And before anyone suggests it, no, I’m not changing my name to Fred Pikelet. Although it does have a certain ring to it...
