Ingredients:  
Based on the Civil War Recipe:
Ingredients:
4 cups flour (preferably whole wheat)
4 teaspoons salt
Water (about 2 cups)
Directions:
Directions:
Pre-heat oven to 375º F.
Makes about 10 pieces depending on how you size them.
Instructions:
Mix the flour and salt together in a bowl. Add just enough water (less than two cups) so that the mixture will stick together, producing a dough that won't stick to hands etc.
Mix the dough by hand.
Roll the dough out, shaping it roughly into a rectangle. What I did was to roll it into a cookie sheet that had about a 1/2" lip all the way round.
I cut the dough into rectangles and used a 3 tine fork to punch holes in the tops. Kinda/sorta like what you see today with crackers.
Bake for 30 minutes. Turn each piece over and bake for another 30 minutes. The crackers should be slightly brown on both sides.
