1/4 c. quick oatmeal
1/4 c. whole wheat flour
3 c. flour
1/4 c. sugar
1 tsp. salt
3 tsp. baking soda
1/2 c. shortening
2 c. buttermilk

Combine flours, oatmeal, sugar and salt in a bowl. Cut in shortening with a fork or pastry blender. Mix baking soda with buttermilk and stir into flour mixture to form a soft dough. Shape dough into two round loaves. Put loaves on greased and floured cookie sheet and flatten each loaf to about 1 inch thickness. Prick with fork to keep bubbles from forming while baking. Bake in a pre-heated 450 degree oven for 15-20 minutes until lightly browned but not crisp.
