Title: French Onion Damper
Post by Sundryed on Oct 25^th, 2009 at 11:16am

4 cups SR flour
2 tspns baking powder
2 tbspns powdered milk
1 tbspn caster sugar
1 pkt French onion soup mix
Sift flour & other ingredients; add soup mix & add water to dry ingredients to make a soft dough. Bake in hot oven as per usual damper for about 30mins or until cooked when tested.
Absolultely yummy; would go really well with stews OR casseroles OR soups.

You are becoming the master damper cook Muzz. Looks the goods and I reckon the flavour would be great.

I have been cooking a Damper almost everyday for the last 6 weeks, (weather permitting) at one stage the back lawn was almost covered in the failures.
The two main things I have found is Heat control and the correct amount of the added liquid.

WOW Muzz they both look really great.

Did you use the same CO for both this and the pumpkin one?

What was the size and the number of heat beads?

Dramas here with todays practice but it still ended up edible (not a damper) will post when I get the strength to finish it off.

The oven I used, 12" Billmans, in my home made Camp Oven Companion (Gas) I can use Heat Beads in it also, for covenants the gas is easier, I have been using a oven temp gauge to get the heat right, very important. I will get my new Camp Oven Mate today.

Hi all,
Just want to say that I have now made this damper 5 times and every time it works out really well. Was a real winner on our Vic High Country trip a few weeks ago. :D
This will go down as one of my all time faves, thanks Sundryed.
BTW, I have cooked it in a cobb, campfire and hillbilly and all turned out sensational. Just doesn't last long...... ;D

I gave this a crack tonight. didn't have powdered milk so used some coffee-mate :)

quartered the ingredients and made a small damper for our casserole tonight.

agree with others, very flavorsome. a touch salty for our tastes but will add a little less f/onion next batch.

the archives here are rippers :D :D :D

I printed out this recipe 2 years ago - and cooked it last Sunday for the first time [smiley=chef.gif]
Very good - this would go well at a camp oven cook off [smiley=chef.gif]
