Servings:32 large crackers

Ingredients

3 oz all purpose flour (¾ cup, see note)
3 ½ oz rolled oats (1 cup)
3 oz whole wheat flour (¾ cup)
1 teaspoon table salt
½ teaspoon baking soda
3 oz unsalted butter (room temp)
½ oz granulated sugar (1 tablespoon)
¾ oz honey (1 tablespoon)
6 oz buttermilk (¾ cup)
roughly chopped oats for finishing

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350 °F. Have two half sheet pans and two half sheets of parchment or silicone baking mats ready.
In a large bowl, whisk together 3 oz all purpose flour, 3 ½ oz rolled oats, 3 oz whole wheat flour, 1 teaspoon table salt, and ½ teaspoon baking soda. In a separate bowl, cream together 3 oz unsalted butter, ½ oz granulated sugar and ¾ oz honey until light and fluffy.
Alternate adding the dry ingredients and 6 oz buttermilk to batter. Mix just until combined. The dough should be similar in texture to biscuit dough.
Divide dough into 2 portions. Roll each piece to a rectangle about ¼" thick, using enough flour to keep it from sticking to the surface.
Transfer the dough to a ½ sheet parchment paper and continue rolling until the dough is ⅛" thick and is the size of the paper (see note). Trim the edges to make a neat rectangle.
Sprinkle chopped oats over the surface and press them into the dough. Prick the dough all over with a fork. Score dough into 16 rectangles, or to your desired cracker size.
Bake about 15-20 minutes until golden brown and crisp. Cool on a rack for 5 minutes before breaking along scores. It's easier to break the crackers when they're still slightly warm.
Store in a sealed container.

Notes

If measuring the flour by volume use the “dip & sweep” method. That is, dip the measuring cup into the flour bin, overfill it, then sweep away the excess.

If you don't have a 16"x 12" sheet pan adjust the size of the rectangle to your pan size, but still roll to an 1/8" thick.
