Christmas Damper

December 12th, 2009

Damper is a scone/bread mixture which was made originally by cooking the dough in a campfire in the bush by stockmen, drovers
in the early days .

2 cups of SR(self raising) flour
1/2 teaspoon of salt
2 teaspoons sugar
1 tablespoon butter
1 cup milk or water (enough to make a medium or soft dough)
1 teaspoon of bicarbonate soda

Rub the butter into the flour. Knead. Mould into a Christmas shape – a wreath, or a star.
Bake in hot oven (or in ashes if you are cooking it in a fire).
Cook for 20 minutes until brown. Serve with butter and jam, honey or golden syrup.
