Ship’s Biscuits
2 cups whole-wheat flour 1/2 teaspoon salt 1/2 to 1 cup water, depending on your climate’s humidity
1. Stir the flour and salt together. Add the water a little at a time until you can press the dough into a ball. (It should not be very sticky.)
2. Knead the dough a few times. Roll it into a rectangle, about 1/2 inch (1.5 cm) thick. Cut the dough into six rectangle-shaped biscuits. Poke each one several times with a knife.
3. Bake on an ungreased baking sheet at 325°F (163°C) for 45 minutes. Remove from baking sheet to cool. Store biscuits uncovered so they dry out. To eat the biscuits, soak them in soup or milk.
