Jos BS: Crumpets - bought or made? (100* d) RE: BS: Crumpets - bought or made? 26 May 21

We called today's crumpets 'pikelets' when I was a child - again the Sheffield/Chesterfield origin. We also didn't call scones 'sconns'. That fits with the map someone posted recently that showed Sheffield as a strongly 'scone' area.
I have seen 'pikelets' for sale in a shop - they looked like crumpets but wider and thinner.

Didn't 'cup cakes' originate with people cooking the cake mixture in cups?
