Biscuits - Hard Tack (Or Ship's Biscuit)

A little about categorizing bread. Our system is not scientific by a long shot. We've placed them into table, flat, dessert, and fried. Table bread may include loaves of sandwich-type bread or something designed to serve as a loaf or dinner bun at the table. Flat is generally un-yeasted bread that is flat (duh!). Fried can be pan-fried or deep-fried. Dessert is for delectables such as banana bread. The words dressing and stuffing are interchangeable, depending where you live. Many will contain bread, others may not. This is dizzying.

1 Tsp. Salt
1 lb. flour
Water

Mix salt and flour; add water to make very stiff dough. Roll to 1/4" thickness, and cut the whole into four inch sections. Use lots of flour to prevent sticking. Use fork to punch with holes. Bake in a flat pan at 250 degrees for two to three hours.
