Farl
A farl (reduced form of the Scots fardel) is a term used in Ireland and Scotland for some roughly triangular flat breads and cakes, traditionally made by cutting a round into four pieces.
In Ireland it generally refers to soda bread and potato bread or cakes (potato farls). While soda bread can be made like normal breads, it is made into farls for use in the Ulster fry. A farl is a flat piece of bread about 3/4 inch thick with a rough quarter circle shape.
A farl is made by spreading the dough on a griddle or skillet in a rough circular shape. The circle is then heavily cut into four equal pieces and cooked. Once one side is done the dough is flipped to cook the other side.
In Scotland today the word is used less than in Ireland, but a farl can be a quarter piece of a large flat scone, bannock or oatcake. It may also be used for shortbread when baked in this particular shape.
