Recipe for Irish soda farls

The perfect breakfast bread - quick, fluffy and delicious, with the minimum of work. No proving is required and it's ready in five minutes.

Serves 2

* 225g plain flour, plus more to dust
* ½ tsp salt
* 1 tsp bicarbonate of soda
* 150ml buttermilk

Sift the flour, salt and bicarb into a bowl. Create a well in the centre and add the buttermilk gradually, until the dough holds together but is not too wet. Knead briefly (half a minute or so, no more) on a lightly floured surface. Shape into a circle about 1cm thick. Divide into eight wedges. Heat a frying pan, add a little flour and cook the farls on each side over a medium heat for eight minutes, turning, until golden brown.
