The Old Woman has been making that stuff for years. I think that she calls it bread.

You ain't never ate the Old Woman's cook'n. Been to the hospital so many times that I bought my own do-it- yourself stomach pump (saves money and travel time). Ate so many TUMS that I got a calcium Kidney stone. At family picnics the fly's won't even come around the "food" and the ants have filed a grievance against her with the Animal Rights Society (she goes to court over that next week).

Yup. I seen it there in the 2000 Dixie catalogue. It says mix plain (not self rising )flour, salt and water and role out to 1/16" thick. It will rise to only 1/4" and brown on top.Punch holes threw top (use a fork). Pretty basic. No proportions were given.
I tried it 10 years ago and it worked. I mixed it till stiff baked it till brown.
