How to Make Damper
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and line a baking tray with parchment paper.
- In a large mixing bowl, sift the self-raising flour and salt. If you want a slightly sweeter damper, add the optional sugar at this stage.
- Add the butter (or margarine) to the dry ingredients and rub it in with your fingertips until the mixture resembles breadcrumbs.
- Make a well in the center of the flour mixture and pour in the milk (or water). Use a wooden spoon to mix until a soft, sticky dough forms.
- Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead it gently for a few minutes until it becomes smoother.
- Shape the dough into a round loaf and place it onto the prepared baking tray. Use a sharp knife to score a deep cross into the top of the damper. This helps it cook evenly.
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes or until the damper is golden brown and sounds hollow when tapped on the bottom.
- Once baked, transfer the damper to a wire rack to cool slightly. It's best served warm.
- Enjoy your Australian Damper with butter, golden syrup, or your favorite spread.
