Ingredients
1 cup all purpose flour
2 tbsp. brown sugar
1 tsp. baking soda
1/2 tsp. salt
2 tbsp. margarine or butter
2 cups whole wheat flour
1/3 cup quick cooking oats
1 1/2 cups buttermilk
2 tbsp. melted butter
white flour for kneading
Instructions
Combine all purpose flour, sugar, soda, and salt in a bowl. Cut in butter with a pastry cutter. Then stir in oats and whole wheat flour and combine thoroughly. Make a well (a hollow) in the center of this and pour in buttermilk and melted butter. Stir with a spoon and combine until all is moistened. Collect dough into a sphere and place on floured kneading board. Knead until the dough is no longer sticky and shape into round loaf. Place onto greased cookie sheet and slightly flatten top.
Take a sharp knife and mark top with an X about 1/2 an inch deep. Put loaf into a 375 degree oven for 40-50 minutes or until testing skewer comes out clean. Place on wire racks to cool. This
is great with jam, cheese, ham, or just butter.
