They were called sandshoes in my family and still are by me and my brothers. I wondered if it was a Northern thing so I looked it up just now and was gratified to find that it is listed as being used in Australia, New Zealand and …. Northern England! My Dad spent 4 years of his young life there (sadly, he only had a young life) so maybe it came from there to us. We also call pikelets pikelets (be quiet Roger!) while the rest of the world calls them crumpets, unless they are very thin. That's also an Australian thing, apparently. I've learned somethings today - great!
