Quiet president allowed to make crumpet (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

pikelet

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

'quiet president allowed' is the wordplay.
'quiet' becomes 'p' (music symbol for 'piano').
'president' becomes 'ike' (I've seen this before**).
'allowed' becomes 'let' (I've seen this before).
'p'+'ike'+'let'='PIKELET'

'to make' is the link.

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

I've seen this clue in The Times.
