Ingredients
  

  • 1/2 cup all purpose flour
  • 1 1/2 cup whole wheat flour
  • 1/2 cup oatmeal
  • 1/4 cup cracked wheat or use an extra 1/4 c whole wheat flour
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 2 Tablespoon butter
  • 1 cup buttermilk or a bit more

Instructions
 

  • Mix dry ingredients, then cut in the butter (I mixed it in with my fingers).
  • Add buttermilk and mix lightly until just incorporated.
  • Knead until smooth, no more than 30 seconds to keep it from getting tough. Form into a round loaf and set on/in a round baking dish or a cookie sheet. (I put mine in the center of a glass pie pan). Cut a cross on the top of loaf.
  • Bake at 375 for 30 – 40 minutes.
