This depends on if the first one is to-mae-to and the second one is to-mah-to
Which is obviously the correct way of reading this.

Nope.
think maybe it was Irish…. But I swear I always called them drop scones. Think I only heard the word pikelets three decades ago.
At some stage I thought Pikelets were a gross fish cake.

Drop scones perfectly describes what you do when you drop batter in from the ladle.
I love the old Irish description for Polenta - “Stir About”, which of course is what you have to do.

A brief review of various threads indicates the current list includes the following:
