What does FARLE mean in Scrabble?
noun
Scotsregional
A quarter or segment of a round bannock, oatcake or scone, cut before or after baking.
A farle is the wedge-shaped piece you get by cutting a round griddle cake into four before it is cooked, a method still used for Scottish oatcakes, bannocks and soda scones. The word names the shape and portion rather than the recipe, so a farle can be sweet or plain depending on what round it was cut from. Bakers still sell soda bread as a pack of farles rather than as a whole round.
How FARLE is used
Chiefly Scottish and Northern Irish, used in cookery writing and in shops selling traditional griddle bread.
