Description
Soda Farls are FIVE simple ingredients. And they are all pantry staples Winner! Can you say BEST BREAKFAST EVER?
Ingredients
Scale
- 350g plain flour
- 1 tsp sea salt flakes
- 1 tsp baking soda (bicarbonate of soda)
- 300ml buttermilk
- 1 tbsp honey
Instructions
- Combine all the dry ingredients in a large bowl. Pop aside.
- In a small bowl add the honey to the buttermilk and give a good stir.
- Make well in the center of the dry ingredients. Add the buttermilk mixture to the mixing bowl with other ingredients. Using a large wooden spoon, Stir just to combine, but no more. The mixture should be a bit sticky. This is completely normal. Turn the dough out onto a well-floured surface and lightly form the dough into a disc about one and a quarter inches thick. Divide the dough into quarters by cutting the disc into wedges with a floured knife.
- Warm up a heavy, cast iron skillet on low heat. After a couple of minutes dust the base of the pan with a little flour. Add your soda farls to the floured skillet and pop on the lid. Cook for 10 minutes on low heat until crusty and golden brown. Flip the soda farls and cook on the other side for another 10-12 minutes or until cooked through. When it’s time to cook your soda bread farls, Make sure your cast-iron griddle is free from oil or butter. You’ll only need a hot, dry griddle and a little flour in the base to get a nice, dry crust on the soda farl.
- Turn the cooked farls onto a wire rack or eat straight out of the pan.
Notes
A heavy cast iron pan or flat griddle is a must. The cast iron gives the soda farls a delicious, rustic crust to the exterior, and trust me, it’s an essential part of a soda farl. Don’t be tempted to use a nonstick pan, it just won’t give you the same result.
