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 !!!
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!
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!
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.
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!
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 ☘️👍

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

Lovely! 👍
Cheers man.medium heat on the pan and is milk OK if no buttermilk?
it will kind of work , add a squeeze of lemon juice
I always thought about adding garlic to the recipe somehow
I mean it wouldn't be traditional then entirely up to you , roast garlic or even black garlic might be interesting.
