Hello all, we used to make damper when we went camping out in the bush, we used camp ovens but it's just as easy to use an oven! Very good with butter, or if you like strawberry jam (jelly over there?)
Ingredients
4 cups self-raising flour
3/4 - 1 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons sugar
2 tablespoons butter at room temperature
1 cup milk
1/2 cup water
Method
Sift the flour and salt into a bowl and mix in the sugar.
Rub in the butter with your (clean) hands until a fine breadcrumb texture is achieved.
For a well in the top of the flour, pour in the milk and water, and mix well with a knife until the dough come clean from the sides of the bowl.
Turn out onto a floured board and knead until smooth and silky.
Shape into a mounded loaf, (some people cut a deep cross in the top) and bake in a preheated oven, 200 c (400 F), for 25 minutes. Then lower the temperature to 180 c (375 f) and cook a further 10 - 15 minutes until done
.
The loaf should be a light golden brown colour and sound hollow when tapped.
