Pikelets, small pancakes made with thicker batter, risen with baking powder/soda. Thinner than drop scones. Can be made sweet or savory.

Becky- why do you wonder about the yeast? Taste and texture and you can make a viable bread with less cerial. Make it thickish and it's an oat cake. Mkae it thin and it's porridge. Make it thinner and it's beer! (eventualy(!))

I recently came across some amazing Etheopian flatbreads made with rye, barley and a bit of wheat. Soured for about 8 hours, then poured very thin. Overlap on large tray and pour on peanut stew.
