IRISH SODA FARLS
Soda bread dough is flattened into a round circle, and divided into farls meaning 4 parts. It is then cooked on a dry griddle or pan. Traditionally this was the quickest way to make soda bread for unexpected guests who drop by for a bit of craic (good fun). It's best eaten fresh with butter and jam but is also delicious fried as part of an Ulster breakfast.

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.
IRISH POTATO FARLS
The word farl originates from the Gaelic word fardel meaning four parts. These potato griddle breads can be made with leftover mashed potatoes too. Serve hot with a little butter and salt, or fry them alongside soda bread as part of an Ulster Fry-up.

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.

WHITE SODA BREAD AND SCONES
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.
