Ingredients
- 1 12 cups beef fat (rendered =To get this, I boiled the fat trimmings from a sirloin until most of the fat had dissolved)
- 1 12 cups water (or broth)
- 1 tablespoon flour
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 teaspoons ground black pepper
- 3 -6 pieces biscuits (Food.com doesn't recognize hardtack which is a type of biscuit)
Method
- Melt the fat in 1 cup of water in a heavy pot over medium heat.
- Reserve the other half-cup of water.
- Add salt and pepper to the pot.
- Drop the hardtack in this mix and simmer on low heat, covered, for one to two hours to desired tenderness.
- Stir the flour and cornstarch in half-cup of water until lumps disappear, and add to the pot, stirring constantly until thickened.
- If its too thick, add a little water until its just right.
- Adjust seasoning and serve piping hot.
- I used hardtack made with whole soft white wheat, which has a very substantial nutty taste and grainy texture.
- You know youre eating something hearty when you taste this stuff.
