Real Traditional Irish Soda Bread Recipe

Heat a heavy skillet griddle or cast-iron frying pan over medium-low heat.

Stir the flour and salt together in a bowl and sift in the baking soda. Make a well in the center of the flour mixture and pour in the buttermilk. Stir the mixture quickly together into a dough and turn out onto a floured work surface. Knead the dough a few times just until it comes together. Gently form the dough into a flattened round cake about 1/2 inch thick and cut the round into quarters with a floured knife.

Sprinkle a little bit of flour into the bottom of the hot skillet and cook the wedges 6 to 8 minutes per side until golden brown.
