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.

Step 2

Preheat a heavy based flat griddle or skillet on medium to low heat.

Step 3

Place flour and salt in a bowl and sift in baking soda; make a well in the center, and pour in the buttermilk.
