pagan1 Posted February 12, 2019 Share Posted February 12, 2019 ,,,,,,,,,,,, are the egg rings really required ? Someone mentioned Pikelets to me earlier today, I had never heard of a Pikelet but it looks like they are identical in the batter mix vut are made without the egg rings. A quick Google told me Essentially, the main difference is that a pikelet is not cooked in a ring like acrumpet, hence why it is thinner and more freeform in shape. Crumpets were originally hard, it was not until the Victorian era that they became soft and spongy as we know them today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Aussie Golden Crumpets don’t really look like they’ve been egg ringed, hence my question... egg ring shopping this weekend ???????? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HHTel Posted February 13, 2019 Share Posted February 13, 2019 I was brought up in the north and I've never heard of raisins in pikelets. The main difference between piklets and crumpets is the 'egg rings'. Pikelets are usually free form so therefore thinner and crumpets are what Warburton's make. Having said that, in the north of England both variations are called pikelets. That pic in the previous post look nothing like either but do look tasty nevertheless.

HHTel Posted February 14, 2019 Share Posted February 14, 2019 'crumpet' is in English slang meaning a 'sexy girl'. i.e. "She's a nice bit of crumpet". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HighPriority Posted March 1, 2019 Share Posted March 1, 2019 Ok, I had a crack tonight, I used Jamie’s “lecipie” ???? that was posted earlier. I’d glanced over the ingredients and it looked good to go, when I actually started it called for flour by weight... I don’t have scales ???? My measuring cups showed millilitres, so I had a crack @ 300 ml. Fail, it was pretty runny, a quick look @ the YouTube video also posted earlier showed a thicker mixture, so I freehandded it. I think it ended up a little thick, so I didn’t get the bubbles rising through the crumpet very well. They did taste quite good though, (I went with the vegemite &butter) so I’ll have another crack @ it.

StevieAus Posted March 2, 2019 Author Share Posted March 2, 2019 As the one who started this post by trying to find where out you can by crumpets I never realized that it would keep going for so long and attract so much interest. I always believed that pikelets were a different beast to crumpets but it seems you are spot on. They are the same made without the ring therefore thinner and crispier at the edges. According to Google anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
