Ingredients
Instructions
- Mix together oatmeal, white flour, graham flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and sugar if you choose.
- Work in oleo like pie crust until crumbly, then add buttermilk with baking soda and mix until combined.
- Roll out the dough very thin on a floured surface.
- Cut into 9-inch round portions and place on a cookie sheet.

Tips & Substitutions
For a different flavor, you can substitute half the white flour with whole wheat flour or add herbs like rosemary or thyme to the dough. If you don't have buttermilk, mix regular milk with a tablespoon of vinegar and let it sit for 5 minutes. Ensure the dough is rolled out evenly for consistent baking. Keep an eye on them while baking to prevent burning.
