Just a plain peice of bread. It reminded me of a tortilla, and tasted like wonton dough. i think though, if you cut it open and stuffed it with something like cheese, pepperonis, and pizza sauce,, it would make a perfect pizza taco (:

My family loves these! I do have to cut them in half to make them thinner so that they cook all the was through. Wonderful alternative to biscuits.

My mother made Irish soda farls all her life and she was a wonderful baker, but her recipe called for approx. 2 tbls. butter cut in (like a piecrust). It gives the bread a softer texture. Wonderful hot with fresh butter and jam.

I made these as part of an Ulster feast for my family, and I thought these were awesome! They taste like a biscuit, only better. And my kids and hubby really liked them too. Hubby went Danish-style (think Aebleskiver) with his and ate it with jam (raspberry) and powdered sugar. Not exactly Irish, but an extremely delicious way to eat them! I thought these were great and sooooo easy - I will definitely be making them again!

These are great and soooo easy. My husband wants them every night. They are very similar to the churrasca he makes in Chile, but these are even healthier because they don't require butter or shortening (except for what you want to let melt over the top!). Delicious!

This was so simple and delicious - and I barely mussed up the kitchen! I did not knead the dough (kneading is a bit scary and I am not very good at it), so instead I just mixed a bit longer in the mixing bowl before transferring directly to my electric griddle pan (set at 300 F). I only used a pinch of salt - will add more next time. It is great served with salted butter and honey, or with blueberry preserves.

My Irish husband has been wanting to figure out how to make soda farls since he moved to the US 8 years ago. Had I known they were so easy, I would have done it ages ago! I added 1 teaspoon of salt into recipe. His smile said it all. He did add that they were EXACTLY like home.

Just as good as the former Ormo Bakery in Belfast. An excellent recipe. Don't forget to add a generous pinch of salt to the flour, before adding the buttermilk. I baked my soda farls on a warm-hot cast-iron pan on top of the stove, 5-6 mins each side. It can be easily frozen in a ziplock bag and defrosted in the samebag in the microwave, (approx. 30-40 seconds) Once cut into 2 horizontally it can be toasted, or my favorite, fried with a little bit of bacon for extra flavour.

I like that this is so easy, even for someone who is afraid to work with dough, and takes very little time to make. Also, you don't have to mess around with the oven. This recipe halves nicely. The first time, I used vanilla yogurt instead of buttermilk and added a few teaspoons of sugar to make sweet farls. I sliced the farl in half horizontally while it was hot and spread butter and raspberry jam inside. The second time, I followed the recipe exactly. (Since the recipe doesn't specify how much salt to use, I used 1/8 tsp salt for a half recipe - I think next time I will use more.) It made the kitchen smell good, and kind of like pancakes. I will definitely make these again.

Made them(it?) this morning as part of a St Paddy's Day Ulster Fry (Mr P claims Irish descent, although frankly, I think Martian is probably more likely). Incredibly quick and simple and very, very delicious. Added a sprinkle of organic garlic salt, but otherwise made exactly as per recipe. Now I know how easy this is, I can see myself making it (them?) regularly. Many thanks.

This was a delicious part of our St. Paddy's breakfast! I took the advice of another reviewer and ended up cutting the farls in half once they were cooked a bit so they cooked all the way through. Then I did half normally and half in bacon grease. Mmmm!! Quick, easy and delicious - will definitely make again!

Made these as part of a traditional Irish Breakfast. Everyone liked them. They were very quick and easy to do. Will try them with herbs and garlic for a great supper bread.
