2 cups of flour 3/4 to 1 cup water 1 tbl spoon of Crisco or vegetable fat 6 pinches of salt
Mix ingredients together into a stiff batter, knead several times, and spread the dough onto a baking sheet at a thickness of 1/2 inch. Bake for one-half an hour at 400 degrees. Remove from oven, cut dough into 3-inch squares, and punch four rows of holes, four holes per row into the dough. Turn dough over, return to the oven and bake another one-half hour. Turn oven off, leaving door closed. Leave the hardtack in the oven until cool. Remove and enjoy! (And make sure your parents try some!)
