Add water in small drops and knead until water is absorbed. Repeat until you have a firm doe, that doesn't stack on your hands.

The thickness of each hard tack must be up to 1cm, no more and also make deep holes along the surface of it.

Personally i was using, 1 cup flour, about 1 tea spoon salt, for very long lasting hard tacks, but they get very hard and salty. Only for keeping them for a long time.

It's all about try and error :)
