A crumpet (/ˈkrʌmpɪt/ ⓘ) is a small griddle bread made from an unsweetened batter of water or milk, flour, and yeast originating from the United Kingdom. It has since become popular in Australia, Canada,[1] New Zealand, and South Africa.
Historically, crumpets are also regionally known as pikelets, however this is limited as pikelets are more widely known as a thinner, more pancake-like griddle bread;[2] a type of the latter is referred to as a crumpet in Scotland.[3]
