- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon caraway seed chopped
- ⅓ cup butter (cold)
- ⅓ cup sour cream

- Mix in the egg, sour cream, and buttermilk until you have a sticky dough.
- Pour the dough out onto a floured surface and knead until soft, adding more flour as needed.
- Place dough into a 9-inch round pan (I just used a glass pie pan) and cut a deep x in the center.
