Nothing signals camping and comfort food than damper! What we love most about damper is just how versatile it is. Enjoy it plain drizzled with honey, or add some cheese and herbs and you have yourself a fancy side dish to accompany any hearty meal. Here’s our easy guide to making damper.
Ingredients:
2 cups of self raising flour
Pinch of salt
About 1 cup of water to mix
Now you can get a bit fancy and add a bit of oil or butter, but we we’ve kept this simple.
Method:
Put the flour in a bowl, add a pinch of salt, gradually add water and ‘cut in’ with a knife until combined. Don’t overmix. Using your hands combine into a ball and plonk into an oiled camp oven. Tip: a small camp oven is the go, it helps the damper rise! Place camp oven over hot coals for about 20-30 minutes. Damper is ready when you tap on the top and it sounds hollow.
Variations:
Add some mixed herbs and cheese to the top
Add some cinnamon, a sprinkle of sugar and some currents for a fruit loaf style damper
