Northumberland Singin' Hinny

From a set of greeting cards celebrating all things related to tea:

These little flat cakes make a 'singing' noise as they cook on the griddle, and the word 'hinny' is a term of endearment usually used by mothers in the north of England when speaking to young children who, when waiting for their teas, would pester their mothers as to whether it was ready or not, and as the little cakes would be cooking away she would answer them by sayig, "no, no, they're not ready yet, just singin', hinny."
