Skillet Scones Soda Bread Farls Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat heavy based flat griddle or skillet on medium to low heat.
• Place flour and salt in a bowl and sift in baking soda. Make a well in the center, and pour in the buttermilk.
• Work quickly to mix into dough and knead very lightly on a well floured surface. Form into a flattened circle, about 1/2 inch thick and cut into quarters with a floured knife.
• Sprinkle a little flour over the base of the hot pan and cook the farls for 6 to 8 minutes on each side or until golden brown.

Steps:

• Preheat a cast iron skillet or griddle over medium-high heat.
• Combine the baking mix, sugar, egg and milk in a medium bowl. Mix gently. Form a ball and knead the dough gently on a floured surface for 5 to 8 strokes, until the dough holds together. Pat or roll the dough to form a 6-inch circle. Cut the dough into 12 wedges.
• Grease pan with shortening. Turn down to medium heat and add the wedges of dough.. Cook for 4 to 5 minutes, adjusting the heat and repositioning the wedges until they're an even pancake-brown. Flip and cook another 3 to 4 minutes.
• Serve with raspberry jam and sweet butter.

Steps:

• In a pot, cover potatoes with water and bring to a boil over high heat. Simmer on medium-high heat until the center of the potatoes are tender when pricked with a fork, about 20 minutes. Turn off heat. Drain, return potatoes to pot and allow to completely dry out over remaining heat. Mash with a potato masher until smooth.
• Place warm mashed potato in medium bowl. Stir in flour, salt and melted butter. Mix lightly until dough forms.
• On a well floured surface, knead the dough lightly. The dough will be sticky. Use a floured rolling pin to flatten into a 9 inch circle about 1/4 inch thick. Cut into quarters using a floured knife.
• Sprinkle a little flour into the base of the skillet and cook the farls for 3 minutes on each side or until evenly browned. Season with a little salt and serve straight away.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450 degrees.
• In a mixing bowl sift together 1 pound flour, 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon baking soda. Make a well in the center. Pour most of the milk into the well. Using one hand, mix in the flour from sides of the bowl, adding more milk if necessary. The dough should be softish, not too wet and sticky. When it all comes together, turn the dough onto a well-floured counter. Wash and dry hands. Knead lightly for 1 second, just to tidy it up, flip over. Pat dough into a round about 1 1/2 inches deep and cut a cross into dough over the sides of the bread to let the fairies out. Bake in preheated 450 degree oven for 15 minutes, then turn down the oven to 400 degrees for another 30 minutes or until cooked. If in doubt, tap the bottom of the bread, it should sound hollow.

Steps:

• Tip the flour into a large bowl and stir through the salt, sugar and bicarb. Make a well in the centre and pour in the buttermilk, then swiftly stir to combine. Tip onto a lightly floured surface and knead briefly. Roll into a roughly 20cm circle and cut into quarters.
• Heat a skillet or heavy-based frying pan over a low-medium heat. Add the farls and cook for 8-10 mins on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove from the heat and leave the farls to cool in the pan for 10 mins. Split open and eat warm with butter.
