hardtack is hard


happy new year.

me and chris tried to make hardtack which is a really hard bread/cracker thing that sailors ate on long voyages because it never went bad. it was also eaten during the american civil war. it's so hard that they called hardtack crackers "molar breakers" and dipped them in coffee to make them more edible.

so here is a basic hardtack recipe:

  • 2 cups of flour
  • ½ to ¾ cup water
  • 6 pinches of salt
everything started out okay like you see in the picture on the left.

then this happened:
lol oops
