Crumpets vs. Pikelets

[Herbsman.]

Which do you prefer?

And are you one of those really annoying people who calls crumpets pikelets even though they're two slightly different things?

 

[trashpony]

Pikelets

But I bet not a lot of people know what they are

 

[wiskey]

pikelets every time, crumpets ming.

ooh and 100% of the vote agree with me

 

[beeboo]

pikelets!

 

[treefrog]

In the Treefrog ancestral home they're interchangeable, with the preferred name being pikelets. however, as we are ignorant Scottish I understand how wrong and perverted this is....

 

[zuszsa]

Piklets. If a piklet is like the scotch pancake thing I sometimes see in supermarkets. I prefer making my own

 

[Sweaty Betty]

My nan called them pikelets and i call them crumpets,,,,,,what am i eating???, they have holes in the top for the butter to seep out of

 

[tangerinedream]

A pikelet is flatter than a crumpet and, though I may be wrong about this, taste a tiny bit sweeter to me.

Danny La Rouge thinks the fat rubbery things with holes in them are pikelets but I think they are crumpets

I'd forgotten all about pikelets! I like them both (and scotch pancakes). I'm just hungry tbh.

 

[Sweaty Betty]

[tangerinedream]

Crumpets are just an excuse to eat artery clogging amounts of butter.

That's why I love them

 

[sojourner]

I wanted to vote crumpets, but had to vote cumpets instead
