Crumpet and cooked leek in bread: no thanks (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

pikelet

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'crumpet' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'cooked leek in bread no thanks' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
an anagram of 'leek' is 'kele' which is located in the answer.
The remaining letters 'pit' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't understand.
This may be the basis of clue (or it may be nonsense).

'and' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for pikelet that I've seen before include "15 [TEACAKE]" , "afternoon treat, perhaps" , "local crumpet" , "Type of crumpet" , "Thin kind of crumpet" .)
