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.
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 cup buttermilk
Directions
Step 1
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.
