Larn Yarself Norfolk

To poke fun at the Norfolk speech is not something new, so I say; if you can’t beat them, join them....
However I do like Norfolk being unique and “dewin a diffrunt” language to most - so when I came across this recipe for Norfolk Dumplings, written with a certain Norfolk twang……. I thought I would share it with you. 
Many claim the Norfolk tongue is virtually beyond writing down and that only natives can speak it with any degree of comfort. As a proud Norfolk gal, this recipe makes perfect sense to me, but see how you get on reading it out loud……

Norfolk Dumplin’s Recipe

Yew put half a pound o’ plain flar in a basin,
An’ a half tea spune o’ baakin powder tew;
