“Singing Hinnie.”—This is kind of girdle cake very popular in the north country, and is made thus: Mix together flour and creamed butter (or thick cream) till it forms a thick stiff paste. Roll this out lightly twice till it is half an inch thick, shape it into round cakes, and bake on a girdle or a hot plate, turning it as soon as one side is baked, to colour the other; split, butter well, and serve hot. Do not over-roll it or it will become a kind of puff paste.
