pikelet

Thin Welsh pancake

A pikelet is a small, thin pancake or crumpet, depending on where you're from.

In Britain, it's a thinner variety of crumpet without the distinctive holes.

In Australia and New Zealand, it's closer to a small fluffy pancake, served with jam and cream: We had pikelets for afternoon tea.
