Ingredients

2 cups all-purpose flour
0.5 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 cup buttermilk

Instructions

Preheat a heavy-based griddle or skillet over medium-low heat to prepare for cooking the farls.
In a mixing bowl, combine flour and salt, then sift in baking soda. Create a well in the center and pour in the buttermilk.
Quickly mix the ingredients until a wet dough forms. Lightly knead the dough on a floured surface and shape it into a flattened circle, approximately 1/2 inch thick. Use a floured knife to cut the circle into four equal quarters. Note that the dough will be quite sticky.
Dust the heated griddle with a small amount of flour. Place the farls onto the griddle and cook for 6 to 8 minutes on each side, or until they achieve a golden brown color.
