What's The Difference Between A Crumpet And A Pikelet?!
A pikelet is similar to a crumpet, but thinner and sometimes irregularly shaped. (However, the meaning of pikelet varies: in some regions of India it traditionally refers to a crumpet, muffin or other teacake. In other British regions, Australia and New Zealand it refers to a Scotch pancake.) Another similar cake is the English muffin, which is cooked on both sides, tastes sweeter, and is not as moist.
Answers: Crumpets are generally circular though long and square varieties also exist. They have a distinctive flat top covered in small pores and a resilient, slightly spongy texture. Crumpets alone are bland and generally eaten hot with a topping (usually butter). Other popular accompaniments include jam, Marmite, marmalade, honey, peanut butter, cheese spread, golden syrup, or Vegemite (Australia).

pikelets are thinner but they both taste the same.
crumpets and pikelets are the same i am a southerner i called them crumpets my x was a Yorkshire man he called them pikelets
Crumpets are more of a mouthful
A crumpet is a sort of bready cake thing and a pikelet is a baby fish.
they are sometimes a bit thinner, also if you live in the south you call them crumpets and pikelet is a northern expression.
Crumpets are fatter.
Pikelets are the same as crumpets but thinner. They look like those pancakes you buy in packets exept they have holes in the top.
A pikelet is wider and thinner than a crumpet,other than that they taste similar.
THEY ARE NOT THE SAME THING. I have this argument with my northern friend every time we meet. Crumpets are round, about 3/4 inch thick, with holes in the top. Pikelets are thinner, no holes and look like a scotch pancake. Go into Tescos and you will see both side by side and then you will know.
