  Amount  Measure       Ingredient -- Preparation Method
--------  ------------  --------------------------------
   2       c            Rolled oats -- not instant
   2 1/4   c            Buttermilk
   2 1/2   c            Unbleached flour
   1       ts           Salt
   1       ts           Baking soda

  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°F. 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" thick and 9 to 10" 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
  them with butter. Delicious with jam or marmalade.
