Swedish Hardtack

Mix ingredients to make a thick dough and shape into 24 balls, dipping them in flour. Roll out very thin with a special peg rolling pin (a barbed pin which pricks dough as it rolls). Bake on a cookie sheet in hot oven (425 F.) until browned, about 15 minutes. These are very crisp and tender. Note: In my grandmas house we had a hardtack holder in the middle of the table. The hardtack we had was about 1 1/2 foot - 2 foot in diameter with a hole in the middle. The holder had a post in the center that you put them on. When we wanted a piece you just broke it off. Thanks for the memory of gentler times!
