DIRECTIONS
- Preheat oven to 350
- Lightly spoon flour into a dry measuring cup; level with a knife. Combine whole wheat flour with next 6 ingredients (through salt) in a large bowl. Cut in butter with a pastry blender or 2 knives until the mixture resembled coarse meal.
- Make a well in center of flour mixture; add buttermilk. Stir until just moist.
- Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface; knead lightly 5 or 6 times. Pat dough into an 8” circle on a baking sheet lightly coated with cooking spray. Using a sharp knife, score dough by making 2 lengthwise cuts ¼” deep across the top of the loaf to form an X. Bake at 350 for 35 minutes or until a wooden pick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool on wire rack. Cut into 12 wedges.
