A recipe for hardtack
Now you can eat like a 19th-century soldier or sailor (or cowboy!). Just mix up this recipe and then serve it with, respectively, coffee, rum, or beans. Ration of semi-rancid meat sold separately. To make hardtack: Mix 2 cups all-purpose flour, 2 cups whole wheat flour, and 1 tsp salt. Form it into a dough using 1.5 cups of water. Let the dough rest for 10 minutes. Then spread it into a pan, prick it all over on top with a fork, and bake it for 50 minutes at 325 degrees F. NOM(?) Hardtack recipe comes from The Food Journal of Lewis & Clark: Recipes for an Expeditionby Mary Gunderson. The other recipes in this book are a lot more appetizing.
