Hardtack Biscuits
Ingredients:
4 cups flour
1 1/2 - 2 cups water
3-4 teaspoons salt
2 tablespoons shortening
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 400°F
2. Mix ingredients in a bowl by hand, adding just enough water so that the dough sticks together but not to your hands.
3. Roll dough out on a lightly floured surface and shape into a crude rectangle.
4. Bake at 400°F for 1 hour.
5. Remove dough from oven and cut into 3 inch squares.
6. Using a fork, or the tip of a knife, punch 4 rows of holes into the squares. You should have 4 rows of 4 punches in each square.
7. Flip biscuits over and cook for for another 30 minutes in the 400°F oven.
8. Let cool and enjoy!
Now make sure you be remembering that the longer they sit, the harder they get!
