Singing hinny

A singing hinny or singin' hinny is a type of bannock, griddle cake or scone, made in the north of England, especially Northumberland[1] and the coal-mining areas of the North East.

[3][4] Hinny is a term of endearment in the dialects of the Newcastle area, often applied to young women and children.

[5] The singing refers to the sounds of the sizzling of the lard or butter in the rich dough as it is cooked on a hot plate or griddle.

[6][7] The ingredients typically include flour, baking powder, lard or butter, currants, milk or buttermilk and salt and/or sugar to taste.

A dough is made which is rich in fat.
