Ingredients
- 4 cups stone-ground whole-wheat flour
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1 tsp salt
- 2 cups low-fat 1% milk fat buttermilk
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F.
- In large mixing bowl combine whole-wheat flour, 1-1/2 cups of the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt, mixing well to combine. Make a well in the center of flour mixture; pour in milk. Using a large metal spoon, mix well to combine.
