BioI'm a boy.
I like girls. Most all girls, actually.
Other than that, I'm fairly friendly if a bit of an idiot. So if I say something you don't like, remember: I'm an idiot.
Hardtack
Ingredients:
1 1/2 cups milk
4 cups flour
4 tablespoons butter/ margarine
3 teaspoons brown sugar
1 1/2 teaspoon salt
(Or just mix 6 parts flour with one part water. It's not as good, but easier.)
Preheat an American oven to 400ºF. You can't make this in a metric oven. Sorry.
*Mix the ingredients into a dough and roll out to a thickness of about 1/4 inch. (Traditionally it's more like 1/2. They're your teeth, you decide.)
*Cut into 2" or 3" squares. (Or use a biscuit cutter and make them round. Heckfire, be all fancy and cut them out in funny shapes you wouldn't want your mom to see. Again, you decide.)
*Prick (heh) them with a fork a bunch of times. At least five times with a four tined fork. More if you want. Less if you're daring.
*Bake for about 15 minutes (longer if they are thicker), turning halfway through, until golden brown. Unless your oven is as bad as mine, then most of them will be golden(ish) brown and a few will just be burnt. You can still enjoy the burnt ones near-like as much as the golden ones.
Eat them at your peril. (I recommend it with rum, hard cheese and salt pork!) (Substituting SPAM (either pan-fried or fire-roasted) for the salt pork makes things a touch simpler.)
If you store them in an airtight container away from heat and light and excessive moisture they'll keep for roughly 65 years. If you just bung them into a bag and throw them on the shelf, they'll only last 50 years or so. If they get stale, you won't notice. Don't throw them at people, you could put out an eye.
If you get weevils, soak your 'tack in your coffee. The weevils will float to the top where you can strain them off. Then drink your coffee. It'll be a little thick from the hardtack, but you just had weevils floating in it- quit yer bitchin'. You can also de-weevil your biscuits by tapping it endwise on a table. I don't think that's the best way to go, for you could still have a few tenacious bugs hiding out in the deeps of the sheet iron, plus you'll damage your table finish fer shur.
If you take your tooth dullers and crush them and then fry the crumbles up in bacon fat (with or without weevils) you'll have "skillygalee". Truly, you will.
