Hi Glen. Singin' hinny is a Geordie recipe. My grandma used to make them. In the Geordie dialect hinny is a term of endearment, hinny, honey. Singing is because of the sound they make when cooking on the girdle.

It is called Singin' Hinny as the actual cake sings as it hits the hot greased pan and Hinny is how Honey is said in the part of England. Honey referring to loved one or children.

The idea of putting my warm hands in the flour/butter and squashing the butter seems like it would melt the butter to me, but I've never tried it.

I never expected to see Singin’ Hinnys anywhere! Hilda Jenkins in the comments has already described what the singing and hinny refers to perfectly. And just in case people don’t know, Geordies are the nickname for people from Newcastle-upon-Tyne and the local area of Tyneside (which isn’t a town, more like a county) in the UK. My husband is from there and I’ve only seen this recipe in the sort of small recipe books that get sold as souvenirs in Newcastle or the wider North East England. (“Tyne” rhymes with “wine” so your pronunciation is correct and presumably where the name of the town comes from. As others have said, “hinny” rhymes with “Minnie” and is a term of endearment like “honey” but really only is used for ladies and I’ve heard it used to mean “young girl” like “lass”). It’s essentially similar to a Welsh Cake, yes. 😊 I guess it was a staple treat for ordinary people. British “cucina povera” if you will. 😅

Cheers for the vid you were right and saying tyneside as New Castle is part of it wher the sinnin hinney comes from it's supposed to make a sound of sinning when it's cooking that's how it got it's name keep up yer guid work thanks.

Wow, only 9h in and just a few comments on pronunciation! 😂 I live in the North East of England, where the landscape - and the city scape - is very much shaped by rivers. I’m from a town called Sunderland which sits on the mouth of the river Wear. (I could say: I grew up “on Wearside”.) Newcastle (upon Tyne) is the largest city in the region and sits on the North bank of the river Tyne, with Gateshead (technically a different town) sitting on the South bank. This is a fiercely held local distinction! And Tyneside is a useful term to encompass both banks of the river without naming a settlement. Although I only grew up 20 miles south of “Tyneside”, “Hinny” is not a dialect term one would hear on “Wearside”. I would suspect that’s why someone wanted to call these are called “Tyneside” Singin’ Hinnies... I’m sure my Wearside grandma made them too, though! 🤣 (To complete the geographical picture, the third and southernmost river in the region is the Tees and “Teeside” is the area, also encompassing several major settlements. A local TV station calls itself “Tyne Tees Television”. The alliteration is good and if you’re from the area, you know that there’s Wearside in the middle of that - and they are getting the same local news programmes, too.)

Hi Glen, have you ever did a cooking show with just what you have lying around the kitchen? What can you invent? My grandfather would do this and come up with such great meals. I would love to see what you could do.

That name makes me giggle....

Well I had to research this one as I had never heard of it and I was curious. 😊. According to Wikipedia, here is the definition: Hinny is a term of endearment in the dialects of the Newcastle area. 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.

Well done on the flipping!

Hinney as in Inn/In. And yes, welsh cakes, singin hinny, chorley cakes, eccles cakes (usu more fruit), and at the posh end of the scale, scones - or fruited scones. And no doubt 100s of similar. Griddle or oven baked.

Hinny is a term of endearment in the Newcastle/Tyneside area. It's also a reverse mule. Source: I know a lot of Geordies.

Glen you have to get some of the very inexpensive thin plastic cutting boards. I use them for transfusing stuff like this a lot. Very useful for this. Also nice for diced and minced veggie transfer. Just a thought. Appreciate the content.

When Julie said "the amount of things that you have because you cook", I felt called out

“Just the right tool for the singin’ hiney.” That made me laugh.

Tyneside is newcastle beside the tyne river. Hinnie is an affectionate term for a young woman, coming from hin, or hen. In scotland a few miles away they call young women hen.

When I see the word "hinny" my mind goes to the equine cross of donkey dam and horse sire (opposite of a mule) with a less giggle-inducing pronunciation.

Just adding to the "cooking floppy bread things" discussion: A square of parchment paper (or two) is a big help. Form the dough on the square of parchment then transfer it to the griddle or baking sheet. At my house, a half sheet pan flipped upside down works well as an impromptu pizza peel/baked good flipping implement. You can remove the parchment from underneath once it's cooked a bit so it can sizzle properly in the pan. I've been making tortillas lately and experimenting with recipes and techniques to find a manageable process for creating my own supply of bread for sandwich wraps. Still in process, but I'm having fun. (Latest discovery: put a blob of dough in the waffle iron, cook it, cool it, cut it almost in half (less filling leakage) and fill it with breakfast. One waffle sandwich instead of two breakfast tacos. Works for me.

Hiya Glen, Julie pronounced Hinny the correct way, (Hin-knee) where I'm from we say "Marra" as a form of endearment, next time you should cut them into Welsh cakes, then they'll be even better, this is Choppy in Whitehaven, Cumbria, England

Great video 👍 leaving in the hunt for the right tool was absolutely the right decision, but I don’t know why it was so entertaining. 1:20 7:14 lol 😀

I wonder hoe they would have flipped it back in the day. Did they have something like a pizza peel? Just before you opened the butter dish, I thought, "That really needs butter." When was it served? I can't help but think some vanilla, or orange zest, or even nutmeg would be a big improvement.

Isn’t the area around Newcastle could tyneside because of the river Tyne which which flows into the North Sea at Newcastle ?

I’m intrigued by the entry listed as “Gravy Soup” in the first book you opened…

Interesting explanations of the name. Here is another fact without any direct correlation to the recipe name: A hinny is a domestic equine hybrid, the offspring of a male horse and a female donkey. It is the reciprocal cross to the more common mule, which is the product of a male donkey and a female horse.

All is good in love and hinny!

I had a lady friend with a beautiful derriere whose nickname was "Tiny Hiney."

You heard me! I was yelling "Get the pizza peel!" 😁 BTW it's a short i sound in hinny. It's a local dialect & accent that makes them sound honey as such.

Glen beats that dead horse on currants yet again!

"tie-n-side" or "tine-side" (area around the Tyne river near Newcastle) and "hin-ny" (honey). We had a versions of this when I was a child. I lived in South Shields one summer working at an archæological excavation at the Arbeia Roman fort. The local Geordie dialect was interesting.

Word to those who don't have all your kit: Only make when you have access to a snow shovel!

So at 1:26 when it shows the recipe, I say this is another version of Welsh Cakes. Did the recipe text say anything about the griddle? Because I'm pretty sure that when cooking on a 'griddle' it would just expected that you grease the griddle. Or, the griddle would be assumed to be well seasoned and by default 'greasy.'

Sounds like the same rule I use in my house. I cook it, you eat it. :-)

Yep "singing hinnies", Newcastle-upon-Tyne/ North East England Distinctly remembering me Nana cooking these

Regardless of spelling, it's pronounced to rhyme with tinny -- singing hinnies are a regional recipe in the northeast (Tyneside is the Newcastle area), and hinny is the Geordie way of saying 'honey' (the term of endearment, not the bee product).

Would have using an upside down sheet pan worked to both transfer the teacake onto the griddle surface and invert onto during the flip? Glen was there wrestling with the cake. He would know the consistency and firmness of the cale ( and he would also know how close the nearest suitable tool was). Good job!

Hi Glen, as my husband is from Blyth in Northumberland U.K. he says Hinny. To pronounce the word Hinny try to do this way . Think of the word IN now add a letter H in front and Sound the letter h with in. Jules got it right. I hope you try the recipe again but cut them in circles then you will hear the singing. ( a little squeaking sound) my children loved them when they where little.

Almost like thick pie dough with raisins.

Julie has the pronunciation correct for Hinny, and yes tyne like wine, side.

Singing Hinny sounds like some sort of bean dish...

"I wasn't flipping it. It would have gone everywhere." In the words of Clint Eastwood, a man's got to know his limitations. I applaud your choice. 😂

Speaking to language and names was just speaking to the older term for corn meaning any grain plant. In the agricultural sense. It was in reference to late 1500 to early 1600 English use which wouldn’t have included corn as we know it today but could be wheat or a barley.

Hinny with short i. No e in it. Not sure this will win any prizes. 😊 could be cooked on campfire
