Traditional Irish Soda Farls

Preheat your cooking vessel to a moderate heat setting, utilizing a heavy-bottomed pan or skillet.

In a separate container, combine the dry ingredients of flour and salt, then incorporate baking soda into the mixture. Create a depression in the center of the blend, followed by the addition of buttermilk.

Blend the ingredients together to form a moist dough; gently knead on a surface dusted with flour, taking care not to overwork the mixture. Shape into a circular form approximately 1/2 inch in thickness and divide it into four equal parts using a knife coated with flour.

To combat the dough's stickiness, lightly dust the surface of your hot pan. Cook the farls for 6 to 8 minutes on each side, or until they achieve a golden brown color.
