Irish Soda Farls

Irish Soda Farls

Farl means four parts in Gaelic and this recipe is the traditional (and quickest) way to make soda bread for unexpected guests who drop by for a bit of “craic” (good fun). The soda bread dough is flattened into a round, then cooked on a dry griddle or pan. It’s best eaten fresh with butter and jam but is also delicious pan-fried in oil or butter as part of an Ulster breakfast.

Preheat a heavy based flat griddle or skillet on medium to low heat.

Step 2
Place flour and salt in a bowl and sift in baking soda; make a well in the center, and pour in the buttermilk.

Step 3
Work quickly to mix into a wet dough; knead very lightly on a well floured surface. Form into a flattened circle, about 1/2 inch thick and cut into quarters with a floured knife.

Step 4
Sprinkle a little flour over the base of the hot pan and cook the farls for 6 to 8 minutes on each side or until golden brown.
