Recipes Bread Quick Bread Recipes Irish Soda Bread Recipes Irish Soda Farls 4.7 (110) 96 Reviews 11 Photos Farl means four parts in Gaelic and this recipe is the traditional (and quickest) way to make soda bread for unexpected guests who drop by for a bit of "craic" (good fun). The soda bread dough is flattened into a round, then cooked on a dry griddle or pan. It's best eaten fresh with butter and jam but is also delicious pan-fried in oil or butter as part of an Ulster breakfast. Recipe by Ita Updated on January 24, 2023 Save Saved!
