Ingredients:





     2 c  Rolled oats; (not instant)


 2 1/4 c  Buttermilk


 2 1/2 c  Unbleached flour


     1 ts Salt


     1 ts Baking soda






 Recipe by: From Celtic Hearths The day before serving, mix the oats with


 1-1/4 cups of the buttermilk in a bowl. Cover and let stand overnight at


 room temperature. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Lightly grease a baking


 sheet and set aside. Sift together the flour, salt and baking soda.


 Gradually beat the flour mixture into the oat-buttermilk mixture, adding


 remaining buttermilk as you work, to form a soft dough. You may not need to


 use the full 2-1/4 cups buttermilk. Turn dough out onto a floured surface


 and flatten with hands or floured rolling pin so that it forms a circle


 about 1 inch thick and 9 to 10-inches in diameter. With a sharp knife, cut


 into quarters or eighths, as desired, and place on prepared baking sheet.


 Bake for 40 minutes, or until browned. Serve warm. Note: These are high in


 fiber and low in fat, provided you don't slather th with butter. Delicious


 with jam or marmalade. Yield: 8 servings.
