Ingredients
– 2 cups all-purpose flour
– 1 teaspoon baking powder
– 1/2 teaspoon salt
– 2 tablespoons cold unsalted butter, cubed
– 1 cup cooked and mashed potatoes, cooled
– 1/4 cup milk
Instructions
1. – In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
2. – Add the cubed butter and use your fingertips to rub it into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
3. – Stir in the mashed potatoes until well combined.
4. – Gradually add the milk, mixing until a soft dough forms.
5. – Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead briefly, about 1 minute.
6. – Divide the dough into 8 equal pieces and shape each into a round farl (a flattened round bread).
7. – Heat a lightly greased griddle or large skillet over medium heat.
8. – Cook the farls for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through.
9. – Serve warm, with your favorite toppings or condiments.
Notes
– For a richer flavor, use half-and-half or cream instead of milk.
– For a crispier exterior, brush the farls with melted butter before cooking.
– Store any leftover farls in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
