Ingredients
Method
- Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C).
- In a big bowl combine flour, sugar, baking soda and salt. Add the butter and mix using a mixer until it is all well combined.
- In a small bowl whisk together the egg and buttermilk.
- Start beating the flour mixture again on medium speed, and slowly add the buttermilk and egg mixture to the flour mixture. The resulting dough will be very wet.
- Dump the dough onto a floured surface and knead a little to turn it into a round loaf. You might be tempted to add more flour, but don´t do it.
- Place the loaf on a previously greased (or lined with parchment paper) baking sheet. Using a serrated knife, cut an X on top, as big as you want it. Sprinkle the oats on top to decorate.
- Bake at 350°F (180°C) for 45 min. aprox. or until a wooden stick comes out clean when inserted.
