Hard Tack

Ingredients

1/4 th cup shortening ( liquid)

1/2 cup sugar.

1 tsp. soda.

1 cup white flour

1 cup Graham flour

1 cup Rye flour ( coarse)

3 T wheat germ ( live)

1 1/2 cups whole wheat flour

1/2 cup cornmeal

1 cup sour milk ( I put vinegar in regular milk) 1 cup of sour cream ( can be make with cottage cheese with a little vinegar in it. )

Procedure

1. Mix all the dry ingredients together and then mix in the wet.
2. Take and egg size of the dough or a little bigger and roll out on sesame seeds roll very thin. Use flour on the counter and on the rolling pin, little as possible....
3. Bake in a 400 oven for about 8 to 10 minutes then turn and bake again maybe 4 minutes and turn if it is not golden and bake a couple more minutes... I always just crack up the crackers to odd shapes kid love to do this part. They can also be cut with a pizza cutter before they are fully baked, like after the first bake.
