I just hope I don't live to regret disclosing my award winning damper recipe to you lot !!
4 cups SR flour.
2 tablespoons Powered Milk.
2 teaspoons Baking Powder.
1 teaspoon salt.
1 tablespoon sugar.
Sift these dry ingredients into a bowl, mix, then slowly add water while stirring with a broad blade knife until it is stiff but moist. I prefer a pretty dry mix but this is up to you and remember this is damper not bread, don't over work the mixture.
Sprinkle a thin layer of PLAIN FLOUR into your oven and when this turns a tan colour and crazes your oven is the right temp. Tip the mixture into your flour covered hands,( this give a nice brown crust), shape roughly and tip quickly into your oven. I use a trivet as it prevents the damper getting a thick hard crust on its bum..
OK, check after 30 minutes by tapping with the handle of a knife, it should be golden brown and sound hollow, tip it out into a clean tea towel. Serve with butter and golden syrup.
You can add any number of things to the mix, dried tomatoes with olives on top, sultanas, whatever you fancy.
I've won damper cooking comps with this recipe, its a good one.

When I die I hope my missus doesn't sell my camp ovens for what I told her I paid for them. pd

Baldrum,

If you want a simple damper recipe try this one, no kneading required. Smiley
