Irish Soda Farls

I had some extra buttermilk that I needed to use (from making creme fraiche), so I decided to give these traditional Irish treats a try. The farl is a triangular-shaped flat bread, and it was ridiculously easy to make. It was a little weird to put flour in the pan instead of oil, but everything turned out fine - the husband really enjoyed these!

Irish Soda Farls

Ingredients:

2 cups all-purpose flour

1/2 teaspoon salt

1 teaspoon baking soda

1 cup buttermilk

Directions:

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

• Place flour and salt in a bowl and sift in baking soda. Make a well in the center, and pour in the buttermilk.

• Work quickly to mix into dough and 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.

• 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.
