Singing Hinnies

We started our Grand Tour in January 2022 in the North East of England and this is where we return this month! More specifically: to the city of Newcastle, to sample the delight that is the Singing Hinny. The Singing Hinny is a type of scone which is cooked on a hot plate or griddle. The “singing” refers to the sizzling of the lard or butter when it is baked in a pan. Our recipe is based on the long-standing customer favourite, SPELT & HONEY, a 100 % bread mix. Due to its versatility in the production of spelt morning goods, it is the perfect fit! SPELT & HONEY brings a nutty-aromatic taste to a traditional recipe which has been enjoyed for many years in Northumberland and the coalfield areas of the North East.

The city of Newcastle is the most populous one in the North East of England. It developed around a Roman settlement called Pons Aelius on the River Tyne. Historically, the most important part of its economy has been the port and its status as one of the world’s largest shipbuilding and ship repair centres. Newcastle boasts many famous landmarks including: the Tyne Bridge, the Swing Bridge, the Castle, Grey’s Monument, the Theatre Royale, Chinatown, the Millennium Bridge and last but not least St. James Park, home of Newcastle United Football Club, located in the heart of the city.
