Title: Old Time Damper Recipe over 100 years old
Post by Furphyslinger on Aug 25th, 2006 at 11:38am
Hi all have been using camp ovens since i WAS ABOUT 16 generally as a drover after I left school and was given this recipe by an old bloke who would have been in his 80s in the early 1960's so rather than see the recipe disappear I thought that I would share it with you. This damper is the best I have ever eaten and provides a great plain damper to replace bread and as in all damper mix's you can add whatever extra fillings you wish but is great on its own:

4 cups or (2 sifters) self raising flour silfters were used to eliminate weevils
3 tablespoons Sunshine milk powder
2 teaspoons baking powder
good pinch salt
tepid (warm) water to mix to a dough
mix dry ingrediants in a dish or bowl then make a hollow in the centre of the mix and slowly add the water while mixing knead into a ball until the dough feels slightly rubbery then place in the centre of a hot camp oven and bake for 30 min in a hot camp oven.
Remove and enjoy hot or cold
I have always found this damper to be very popular and there is never any left over.

Regards Kel
