Sea Biscuit

Once made, these will last months or even years if you keep them dry. To eat, dip them in soup, coffee, tea, or something. You can put them in a sack and smash with a hammer or heavy pan to break it up into smaller pieces, or even turn back into flour, albeit a browned flour. Cook at a lower temp, possibly for longer, to avoid browning.
Don't grease the pan if you plan to store these for a long time. The fat may go rancid.
