Traditional Irish Soda Bread Farls




Place a large flat skillet, lightly floured on the stove over medium low heat.
2 C Flour
1/2 tsp Salt
1 tsp Baking Soda (Sifted)

fluff together in a large bowl and make a large hole in the center


1 Cup Buttermilk
fill the hole with the buttermilk and quickly mix into a dough.


Place dough on a floured surface and gently knead into a ball, then press into a disk about 1/2 in thick.
cut disk into 1/4 pieces (Farls)

Place your fourths/Farls on the floured, heated skillet and cook until golden brown (about 5 min) flipping once to brown the other side (another 5-ish minutes)

Think really dense KFC biscuit with butter and jam....but better.  Also, the dough can be fried like a scone or baked into a bread.
