Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9-inch round cake pan with butter. Sift the flour, salt, and baking soda together into a mixing bowl. Stir in the steeped oatmeal mixture and mix until a soft, slightly sticky dough forms. Add a little more flour if it's too wet.

Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface. Knead a couple of times to form a soft ball. Press into a round about 2 inches thick. Score a deep cross on top with a sharp knife.

Place in the prepared pan and bake until golden brown, about 25 to 30 minutes. Remove and cool on a wire rack. Serve warm with butter.
