1 1/2 tsp. cream of tartar

Directions: |
Directions:Preheat oven 425º. Prepared with greased and floured baking sheet.
Use processor to grind oat flakes into a fine 'flour'.
Mix all the dry ingredients in a large bowl. Rub in the butter ( I use pastry cutter or clean hands) - this should look like a fine meal texture when finished 'cutting in'.
Add the buttermilk to make a soft dough-may need a little more liquid to make dough softer...but little at a time is key: like a Tbsp. at a time.
Knead together turning some and make a round flattish loaf...with a sharp knife, make a 4" cross, 1/4" deep in center of loaf into (looks like 4 quarters but don't cut all the way through)
Bake in 425º oven for 20 minutes-then 375º for another 20 minutes or so.
*Tap on the bottom of the loaf--if it sounds hollow, it is cooked--if not it can now be turned over for a FEW minutes to finish cooking. (love the Irish).
Cool the bread on a wire try covered with a clean tea cloth/towel. |

Personal
Notes: This is a very dry mix so a tad messy while putting together.
While traveling in Ireland we would see breads 'curing' out on kitchen windowsills.
