Aren't they actually two different things, one thinner than the other?

I think the reference to poor man's crumpet may be misconstrued by some on here.

[MrBater]

'A crumpet is thick, spongy, and yeast-leavened, cooked in rings; a pikelet is often thinner, made with baking powder (no yeast), cooked free-form without rings'

Looking at that link, I'd say my aunt used the term interchangeably. Though she wasn't from Yorkshire.
