Ingredients:
2 1/2 cupFlour, self-raising
1 tbspSalt
1 tbspButter
1 tbspSugar
1 cupMilk (or use about
-?C of powdered milk
-and about 1 C water)
Procedures:
1Preheat oven to 350 °F.
2Mix together the dry ingredients and the butter.
3Add the liquid and mix well.
4Knead for about 5 minutes (if you don"t know about kneading, look in a good cookery book with plenty of pictures, it"s difficult to describe in words).
5Shape into a flattened ball and place on a greased and floured baking sheet or in a greased and floured round cake tin (i recommend the latter, about 7 or 8 inch diameter, as it gives a better shape).
6Bake for 30 minutes.
7Use a dutch oven if you are cooking in an open fire, and use your experience as to cooking time.
8Serve in moderately thick slices while still fairly hot.
9I"m told that golden syrup (a treacle-like substance made as a by-product of cane sugar refining) is the traditional thing to spread on it, and that goes well.
10Jam is good, too.
11Notes: * bread as made by drovers in the outback -- i don"t know how many of you realize it, but there is a wealth of tv programmes about cooking from around the world.
12We are lucky in that australia"s sbs network (special broadcasting service "multi-cultural television") has a regular slot for food and wine at a convenient time on saturday evenings.
13Over the last couple of years we have seen series on french, indian, chinese, english, vegetarian, australian and sri lankan cookery, among others.
14If you"re missing out, why not call your local station? this recipe comes from a series called "australian tableland".
15Traditionally, damper should be cooked in the coals of a camp fire, but the temperature in an oven is much more consistent! this recipe has the advantages of being simple and, with ordinary care, reliable.
