5 pounds
unbleached all purpose flour
2 tbs. baking
powder.
1 tbs. Salt
water
(Dough should be
stiff and dry. If dough becomes too stiff to work with add water. If too moist add flour.
If dough sticks to the cutter it is too moist.)
Mix dough with
fork.
Use hands to form
a workable dough ball.
Roll to 1/4"
to 1/2" thick.
(Use flour
sprinkles liberally on the rolling surface to prevent sticking)
Cut into biscuits
with hardtack cutter.
Bake at 300
degrees for 70 to 90 minutes or until it can no longer be pushed in.
Store dry. Do not
store in a plastic bag. Do not freeze.
Caution hardtack could break your teeth. That must be why the men called them teeth drillers.
