Confederate Hardtack and Johnny Cakes
DURING THE WAR MILK WAS A LUXURY, SO SOLDIERS USUALLY MADE A MUSH WITH THEIR CORNMEAL AND PORK DRIPPINGS AND COOKED IT OVER A FIRE WITH A STICK, KNIFE, BAYONET OR WHATEVER ELSE THEY COULD FIND.
Hardtack crackersSome recipes omit shortening
2 cups of flour1/2 to 3/4 cup water1 tablespoon of Crisco or vegetable fat6 pinches of salt
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
Mix the ingredients together into a stiff dough, knead several times, and spread the dough out flat to a thickness of 1/4 inch on a non-greased cookie sheet.
Using a pizza cutter or a knife, cut dough into 3-inch cracker squares. With the flat end of a bamboo skewer, punch four rows of holes, four holes per row, into each cracker.
Bake for 30 minutes. Remove from oven, turn crackers over on the sheet and return to the oven and bake another 30 minutes. Cool completely.
