I made damper for the kids for a treat one afternoon. Easy, and delicious, especially when warm.
Ingredients
3 Cups Self-Raising Flour
Pinch Salt
80 Grams Butter
1/2 cup milk
1/2 cup water
Step 1
Preheat oven to 180ºC. Add butter, flour and salt to a bowl and rubbed together with finger tips until combined. It will look like fine bread crumbs. Make a well in the centre for the liquid.
Step 2
Add water and milk and use a knife to slowly combine the mixture using a cutting motion, starting form the outside of the bowl, and working the flour mixture into the centre. Keep working until dough forms.
Step 3
Once dough has formed, use hands to combine into a ball. If it’s too dry, add a little extra liquid.
Step 4
Remove dough from bowl and kneed on a floured bench for a few minutes.
Step 5
Place dough ball on a paper lined baking tray and press down on the top slightly to form a circle. Use a sharp knife to cut 4 shallow lines on the top. Sprinkle on a little flour.
Step 6
Cook in an 180ºC oven for approximately 30 minutes, until cooked through.
Step 7
Best served warm with lashings of butter and a drizzle of golden syrup.
