Irish Soda Farl recipe , Traditional Griddle pan bread

[@seamus9750]

As a wein in the 60's my Aunt Bella made soda farls over the open turf fire on a griddle....she'd dish them up with homemade butter and blueberry jam...bliss !!!

made this with my class to practice english. They turned out delicious with butter! thank you

[@colinbell-NI]

Thanks I wish I had watched you first. I tried this morning but wound up with sticky mess all over my hands and burnt the farls. And I'm actually am a Northern Irelander! I'm just a beginner, you make it look so easy!

[@TheIrishChef]

Cheers Colin , practise them again , by the third time you will have them mastered !

Great recipe - I didn't have soda or buttermilk but substituted 3x the amount of soda for baking powder, and a mix of yoghurt and milk for the buttermilk. Thank you!

[@TheIrishChef]

Sounds great!

[@jeromeghosh]

Cheers man.medium heat on the pan and is milk OK if no buttermilk?

[@TheIrishChef]

it will kind of work , add a squeeze of lemon juice

[@samhaddock3518]

You can add vinegar to full cream milk. 1 tablespoon per cup.

I all the years that I've had soda farls I never knew that farl meant fourths. Great demo thanks! My auntie that used to make these has passed on and I never learned from her how to make them. I've been wanting to have some with a fry. Sunday breakfast is starting to look better now!

Lovely! 👍

Sorry you lost me when you added butter to the Pan, dust a pan with a little flour when it turns brown pan is ready then cook your farls, I'm old we didn't waste our butter ☘️👍

Visited Belfast for first time couple of days back. Tried cooking soda bread myself but no Irish bakers close by to compare with, brought some farls back, now I know. Your recipe looks good to follow, just buttermilk not available readily in England.

[@TheIrishChef]

Check out buttermilk substitutes online , it won't be the same but it will work.

[@samhaddock3518]

I buy my buttermilk in Asda. It’s in the cream and cheese section.

[@robertrobert9800]

I always thought about adding garlic to the recipe somehow

[@TheIrishChef]

I mean it wouldn't be traditional then entirely up to you , roast garlic or even black garlic might be interesting.
