From County Down in Northern Ireland, my Great Aunt Annie spent her Thursdays making soda, potato, potato-apple and fruit bread for her family and friends. Farls were cooked on a cast iron round griddle with four 'arms' underneath, each powered by propane....It was like an industrial scale Bunsen burner.....I WISH I had kept the griddle, with all my heart! ❤❤❤❤❤❤
My grandmother added a bit of cream of tartar and a bit of sugar to her recipe along with the salt and baking soda. Her soda farls were delicious! I used her recipe this morning to make some for breakfast.
You’re such a talented teacher! And thank you very much for the delicious recipes. Your instructions make them easy to learn, and they’re a good quantity if you’re just cooking for 1 or 2 people.
Brilliant recipe, worked like a treat. Just one wee suggestion. If you’re not eating them straight away cover with a tea towel when letting them cool. The slight steaming effect stops the crust getting too hard. Then split them and heat them in the pan after the bacon has cooked. Soda bacon and egg banjos for the win!
4am here in the states and I just woke up & wanting some of the Irish soda bread I made for St Patrick’s Day, but didn’t want to wake the whole house & I find this! Don’t argue with the Universe! 🍀
Made this today with a newly seasoned cast iron pan. Wanted to make this ever since I visited Ulster 10 years ago. Think I used a bit too much butter milk but still beats store bought Dutch supermarket bread!
Thank you for sharing. I will make them tomorrow. I recognize some as Irish Cooking and Recipes. There are others that are more universal, which is hard to point out the country of origin. I love the Guiness Irish Stew, and the soda bread, which I consider authentic Irish food.
Just made these for Saturday morning coffee and homemade kumquat jam. They were perfect, looked just like yours and were so satisfying and, I made them vegan with soy milk with a bit of white vinegar. Thanks for sharing this touch of Ireland right here in Santa Barbara, California.
Are they like biscuits or muffins or scones or something? My buttermilk went to waste because I never used it. Get the urge to bake and then weekends come and I’m bushed.
I saw this video Thursday when you released it and I’ve had farls on my mind ever since. I finally made them this morning for breakfast. Amazing. So freaking good. Thanks for sharing!
It would have an off white yellowish color if using unbleached flour. That’s what I use. If it’s really unnaturally yellow then that could be down to not enough acidity to neutralize the soda. Be sure to use buttermilk and if it’s still too yellow you could try reducing the Soda a little.
@@irishbakerabroadyeah that makes sense! Thank you. I use plain full fat milk if i don't have buttermilk! Maybe i should add lemon juice to the milk if using full fat and let it go off 👍
Hi Chris, fry bacon then the sodas in the fat with an egg for a bacon egg soda. Staple breakfast in our house
Lovely stuff! ☘️😊

Thanks a million and cheers for watching the videos! 😊☘️

Savage 👌🏻😋
Jam? That needs some fried eggs, sausage, bacon, and HP
I agree! It’s all I had in the fridge that day! 😄
1 thing I miss is being able to eat soda farls, loved them toasted with proper Irish or Ulster butter. GF flour is more tricky to work with.
Better fried up with a wee bit of bacon.
True! 😋
Cheers lad, made them today with bacon and egg

If you give it a try let me know how ya get on! Have a great weekend! 😄🇮🇪☘️
Hello, what about some Treacle farls and ginger farls, could you make them please.
Yeah, when I get a chance. Cheers! ☘️
Excellent bake & well explained Thanks

Thanks for having a go at it! ☘️😊
Hi, to make a wheaten farl is it just a change to wheaten flour instead of white flour? thanks. S
Yeah just change out the flour or go half half. You may need to add a bit more buttermilk if the dough is too stiff ☘️
Easy and quick enough to make on vacation at the cabin! Thanks for the inspiration! Cheers from Wisconsin, USA.
My pleasure! Thanks for watching! 😊
could you please make irish soda cakebread, thanks
There are a number of soda bread videos on the channel 😊☘️
Great recipe Chris! My friend enjoyed them! I also made some for myself with gluten free flour. Yum! 😋
Lovely stuff! 😊☘️
Jam I mean jam no way eggs bacon and a fried tomato is what's called for ☘️
I agree! But it’s all I had at the time Marie 😄☘️
Does it help to put a lid on the flying pan when the scones are cooking?
No need ☘️😊
Hi Chris I made your soda farls and they were delicious as my mother used to make them.
They eat it all over Ireland 🙄
Ok?
Can you make biscuits with this recipe?

Brilliant! Thanks for having a go ☘️
Thank you for this very easy recipe. Only thing is I’m making them most days now and even got my daughter making them. 😋
Great stuff! ☘️😊
You can do good old American buttermilk biscuits the same way..Prefer a cast iron skillet❤
Yes I actually had one. I also have a cast iron bread pan ☘️
looks like biscuits and pancakes had a child

Like soda bread except the dough is flattened and done on a griddle/pan instead of the oven. Give it a try 👌🏻☘️

Glad to hear it! Thanks for giving them a go! 😊
Just made them now, they are delicious!!! I am from Donadea btw. Good stuff Chriss, keep them coming
Brilliant! Cheers for the feedback ☘️☘️☘️
Hiya Chris I tried the farels delicious thanks. Keep up the good work. Rose
Thanks a mill Rose! 😊☘️
Still make them to this day, along with potato farls, great for a fry up!
Too right! Fair play to ya!
what say you?
Hey Chris! Why do my farls go so yellow? Is it too much baking soda?
It would have an off white yellowish color if using unbleached flour. That’s what I use. If it’s really unnaturally yellow then that could be down to not enough acidity to neutralize the soda. Be sure to use buttermilk and if it’s still too yellow you could try reducing the Soda a little.
@@irishbakerabroadyeah that makes sense! Thank you. I use plain full fat milk if i don't have buttermilk! Maybe i should add lemon juice to the milk if using full fat and let it go off 👍
How long does it keep?
I’d eat them within 2-3 days. You can toast and fry them too after that if they become too dry. Just store them in a plastic bag 😊
Very good 👍🏼
Thanks very much Paula! ☘️
