Hard Tack, or Ship’s Biscuit
2 cups Flour (Batavian Grain)
½ tsp. Salt
½ to ¾ cups Water
Mix the flour and salt together then add enough water to make a very stiff dough. Knead the dough for a few minutes then beat with a rolling pin until flat, about ½ inch thick and cut into 2 inch by 2 inch sections. With a fork, punch it full of holes. Bake in an ungreased, flat pan at 250° F for 2 to 3 hours.
