Does anyone make hardtack
I am looking for a proven recipe
My son has been researching the civil war and wants to make some so I thought I would check here for a someone's family brew

Thanks

Well I'm sure that there are more...but here's one that's worked for me...
You'll need about;
Two pounds of unbleached flour (not self rising), or one pound of flour and one pound of wheat flour.  1/2 teaspoon or so of salt and water as needed.
Mix up the salt and flour in a bowl...add water slowly while mixing.  The dough should be about like putty  :)

Thanks
I'll let you know how it comes out
I'm sure we will cook this weekend
It's suppose to be windy so that will probably shut down our trip to range
And will be a good time to be inside

Well the hardtack came out great the kids and I made it this morning and I read them some history about it while it cooked
We went and shot for an hour or so and came in for some fresh hardtack and beef broth
I think we will wrap a couple pieces up and slip it into our possibles bag in case our sites are off next we go hunting

Thanks for the recipe
