Traditional Soda Farls
Quick to make and incredibly versatile, these Traditional Soda Farls can be topped with butter and jam and also make a great breakfast sandwich.
Ingredients
- 10 oz or 280g plain flour (all-purpose flour)
- 1 tsp baking soda (bicarbonate of soda)
- ½ tsp cream of tartar
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tsp sugar
- 8 fl oz or 250ml buttermilk
Instructions
- Sift the dry ingredients into a bowl and mix well.
- Slowly add the buttermilk and mix to a soft dough. Don't add all the buttermilk at once, incase you need a little less than the recipe states. Work quickly and lightly - don't overwork the dough!
- Turn the dough onto a floured work surface and roll out until it's approximately ½ inch/1¼ cm thick. Cut into four farls.
- Bake on a griddle or frying pan on a medium low heat for 15-20 minutes, turning once or twice. Remove when golden brown and wrap in a cloth until cool (this keeps the crust soft).
