Pikelet; Is this word still used in Sheffield?

Moule at hillsborough in the 60's for oatcakes pikelets and milkcakes they made them as you waited ---mind blowing

 

Yes indeed, old John Moule would pour dollops of creamy mixture on to a hotplate, strategically placed in the shop window for maximum publicity, while Gertrude served the customers. The shop closed in 1966 when John Moule died.

If anyone wants a change from the rubbery things that are sold in most supermarkets. Try the ones from Aldi, the ones mad in Cumbria, Pikelets like they used to be in the olden days. They are called Lakeland Bake, although they call them Crumpets!!!

hi Chimay i had to laugh at your post i am also a Sheffielder living in the deep south and my partner looked at me gone out when i referred to crumpets as pikelets the other day! What's a pikelet she exclaimed??? There is no such thing as a crumpet, they may call it that on the packet but it is always a pikelet to me! love em with lashings of butter or melted cheese with a bit of HP or Hendersons drizzled on...and you are right, you cant get Hendersons down here, have to stock up in Sheffield when im there...and you are right, they dont have breadcakes down here and you have to ask for a chip roll instead of a butty in the 'chip oyl'...we will have to get them civilized down here won't we my friend!!
