Directions
-
Preheat oven to 400&# 194;°F (200ðC).

Lightly grease a large baking sheet with nonstick spray or line it with parchment paper.
-
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, whole wheat flour, sugar, rolled oats, baking soda, and salt.

Create a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour in 1 cup of buttermilk.
-
Stir gently with a fork or spatula just until the flour is moistened; do not overmix.
-
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead gently 4-5 times until it holds together.
-
Pat the dough into a circle approximately 7 inches in diameter on the prepared baking sheet.
-
Brush the top of the dough with the remaining 2 tablespoons of buttermilk.
-
Bake for 12-14 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

Remove from oven and let cool slightly before slicing into wedges.
