When I was young, pancakes were one of my favorite foods. My mother just threw stuff in a bowl without measuring and made pancakes. They were definitely not light and fluffy, rather, were dense and heavy. Sounds like I might have been eating pikelets without knowing it, and loving them.

It's also known as a Scottish pancake, and they are much smaller. They are around three to four inches in diameter, and are thicker and heavier than standard pancakes. An induction hob is a hob the transmits heat directly onto the base of a pan, which makes it less likely that you'll burn yourself. Thus, if I had an induction hob skillet, I could use it to do light frying much more safely. I use a talking induction hob from Cobolt systems, I don't know if those ones are available in the US. Hope that helps. On 15/07/2020 15:32, diane.fann7--- via Cookinginthedark wrote: > Hi, Samuel, > > What distinguishes pikelets from regular pancakes?
