A pikelet is a small, round cake made from flour, milk, eggs, and a raising agent. It is cooked on a hot griddle or frying pan and is usually soft, light, and slightly spongy.

The name has different meanings in different regions. In Britain, a pikelet may be a thin crumpet, while in Australia and New Zealand it is usually a small pancake. Pikelets are often served warm with butter, jam, or honey.
