Another fantastic show - Civil War Hard Tack  5/21/16

Another fantastic show!  To Listen:   CLICK HERE!

Here is a recipe for Civil War Hardtack...

2 cups flour
1/2 tablespoon salt (optional)
1/2 to 3/4 cup water

​
Preheat oven to 250 degrees F. Combine flour with salt in a mixing bowl. Add water and mix with hands until the dough comes together. Roll out on a table to about 1/3 inch thickness. Use a knife to cut 3×3 squares from the dough. Place on baking sheet, and use a dowel (see note above) to make 16 evenly-spaced holes in each square. Bake for at least four hours, turning over once half-way through baking. Cool on a rack in a dry room.

I have made this before and it's fun to make with the kids...easy too.  If you want to get a little non-historical with it...add some cinnamon  OR  garlic!

We talked about bug out bags, fire starting tinder and two way radios as well.

Awesome information. Very useful and noteworthy!
I love the variety of content. It keeps it interesting and, for lack of a better term, captivating to say the least...
