Directions
Singin’ Hinnies – Northumbrian Tea-Time Griddle Cakes/Scones, Served warm and oozing with butter, these fabulous fruity griddlecakes make a great treat for breakfast or afternoon tea I remember my grandmother making these when I was little; she lived in a very old stone cottage in Northumberland, and made these on a huge cast iron black griddle, or girdle as they were also called! We used to eat them hot from the griddle, with butter in front of a roaring wood fire during the winter months Singin’ hinnies are a type of fried fruit scone or griddle cake, so called as they ‘sing’ and sizzle whilst cooking ‘Hinny’ is a Northern term for endearment used especially to children – my grandmother used to call me hinny Similar to singin’ hinnies are Northumbrian griddle cakes, also known as Gosforth gridies If you are making them for a childrens party or at Christmas, put coins that have been briefly boiled, then wrapped in greaseproof paper, in the middle of some of the singin hinnies , These were a big hit at dinner last night Easy to put together and quick to cook – we loved them! Thanks for sharing , First, Thanks for the reviews on my recipes!!! Second, my Grannie used to make these for me when i was little and my mom worked at Race St Fish Market ( i was the spoiled first Great-Grandchild) Id ask for these Breakfast Cakes everytime my Grannie babysat me, and she always obliged cuz it was THE ONLY WAY id eat raisins!!!! thank you, THANK YOU for the recipe! i hope my own daughter enjoys them as much as i did! ~Darc
