Irish Soda Farls

I'm about a week late - I wanted to try this Irish recipe for St. Patty's day but I didn't get to it until today... It was very easy to make and it tastes kind of like a thick English muffin. Make sure you cook them over medium-low heat or they'll burn. "Farl" apparently means four - this bread is shaped into a disc then cut into four pieces and cooked.

Irish Soda Farls

2 C all-purpose flour

1/2 tsp salt

1 tsp baking soda

1 C buttermilk

Preheat a heavy skillet or flat griddle on medium heat.

Combine dry ingredients. Make a well in the center and pour in the buttermilk. Work quickly to mix the milk into the flour mixture then turn out onto a well floured cutting board or counter. Very lightly knead the dough and form a circle. Flatten the circle, about 1/2-inch thick, and cut into quarters with a floured knife.

Sprinkle the base of the skillet with a little flour and turn the heat down to medium-low. Place the farls in the pan and cook for 6-8 minutes on each side or until golden brown.

Split and serve with butter and jam.
