Soda farls are maybe the most traditional bread we have here in Northern Ireland, the only one that rivals it is the potato farl. They have the delicate soft crust with a chew and then pillowy soft in the middle. My Granda always talks about his Nanny making theses over the fire. How he would get a slice that was a bit warm with real butter and it would be dripping down his arm. Those memories are priceless and baking or cooking really do create them. I hope you get to make some over these recipes. If the butter doesn't do it for you, try a filled soda, slice your farl in half, fry, then pack with sausage, bacon and egg. That will keep you going all day!

Step 1
Add your sifted flour to a bowl and in a jug add your buttermilk and oil. Mix the buttermilk and oil together, we find the addition of oil helps make your bread that bit softer.
