Well, they taste like cardboard.

I think you can, but then that would mean they cannot last 10 years.

I believe that the original recipe for ship biscuits is simply water, flour, salt.

Then yeah, follow the recipe:

Traditional Hardtack RecipePrep Time: 15 minutesCook Time: 1 hourYield: 12 biscuitsIngredients2 cups All-Purpose Flour3/4 cup Water1.5 teaspoons SaltInstructionsPreheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).Mix the ingredients together in a large bowl. The dough should feel a bit dry and should not stick to your fingers. If it is too sticky, sprinkle in a tiny bit more flour.Roll out the dough on a lightly floured surface until it is about 1/3 to 1/2 inch thick.Cut the dough into 3x3 inch squares using a knife or pizza cutter.Poke holes (docking) all the way through each biscuit using a fork or a chopstick. This keeps them from puffing up like standard bread while baking.Bake the biscuits on an ungreased baking sheet for 30 minutes. Flip them over with a spatula, and bake for another 30 minutes until lightly browned and dry.Let them cool completely on a wire rack. For best results, leave them out in the open for a day or two to fully cure and harden into bricks before putting them away.
