List of Ingredients
2 cups oat flour
1 1/4 cups whole wheat pastry flour
1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
4 teaspoons baking powder
3/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup white sugar
1/2 cup shortening
1/2 cup butter
1 tablespoon grated lemon zest
2 tablespoons poppy seeds
2/3 cup buttermilk
1 tablespoon melted butter
Recipe
1) Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
2) In a large bowl, stir together the oat flour, whole wheat flour, all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt and sugar. Cut in shortening and 1/2 cup of butter until the lumps are smaller than peas. Stir in the lemon zest and poppy seeds. Make a well in the center and pour in the buttermilk. Stir just until the dry ingredients are moistened.
3) Divide the dough into 2 pieces. Pat each one into a 1 inch thick circle. Cut circles into 6 wedges like a pie. Place pieces onto a baking sheet, and brush the tops with melted butter.
4) Bake for 12 to 15 minutes in the preheated oven, until lightly browned. Cool on a wire rack so they do not get too crumbly.
Note:
To make your own oat flour, process regular or quick cooking oats to a fine powder in a blender or food processor.
