Singing Hinny

After school this afternoon Nathan took his Grade 1 piano exam. Adam very kindly took him along, and I stayed at home to do tea. I confess to feeling quite nervous for him, so I decided to do some baking to take my mind off it.                                           
I really am limited for choice now, in fact I am down to the last 17! It’s official, I have done over 200 recipes! I decided on “singing hinny” as it looked quick and easy, and it turned out to be straight forward. The only problem was that it was cooked in the frying pan – something I don’t particularly enjoy as I find it hard to get it the right temperature. I ended up cooking it for longer than the recipe suggested, and even then it did not seem fully baked. As my oven was on for tea, I ended up giving it another 5 mins in there. Apparently it is called singing hinny because it sings whilst it cooks, but I didn’t hear anything!                           
The general consensus was that it needed sugar. It tastes rather like a sugarless fruit scone. The boys say that they are going to try it with jam when they have some later tonight!    We gave it 6.5  You will be pleased to know that Nathan was happy with how the exam went. We look forward to hearing the results.
