Hardtack For Pirates Recipes

Steps:

• Mix the flour, water and salt together, and make sure the mixture is fairly dry.
• Then roll it out to about 1/2 inch thickness, and shape it into a rectangle. Cut it into 3×3 inch squares, and poke holes in both sides.
• Place on an un-greased cookie or baking sheet, and cook for 30 minutes per side at 375? (or 350? if you have a convection oven).
• When it's done, you'll want to let it dry and harden for a few days, just out in the open. When it has the consistency of a brick, it's fully cured. Then simply store it in an airtight container or bucket. To prepare for eating, soak it in water or milk for about 15 minutes, and then fry in a buttered skillet. You can eat it with cheese, soup or just plain with a little salt added. Any way you do it, it's delicious!

Steps:

• Mix together salt and flour.
• Add enough water to make a very stiff dough and flatten until dough is about half an inch thick.
• Cut dough into 4 inch circles (or use a cookie cutter to make life easier).
• Punch holes in the middle of each circle with a fork.
• Bake at 250 degrees for 2-3 hours.
• Try to eat.
