damper

How To Make damper

• Step 1
  (If you aren't using self-rising flour, add 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder and 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon salt for every cup of regular flour)
• Step 2
  Preheat oven to 425ºF. Lightly grease a baking sheet.
• Step 3
  Stir flour and salt together. Cut in butter until dough is crumbly.
• Step 4
  Make a well in the center of flour mixture and pour in milk and water. Stir until liquid is absorbed and dough holds together.
• Step 5
  Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Knead once or twice and form into a round loaf 7-8 inches across. Place the loaf onto the prepared pan and using a sharp knife, cut a cross in the top.
• Step 6
  Bake for 25 minutes at 425ºF then lower oven temp to 350ºF and bake for an additional 5-10 minutes until loaf is golden brown. (Bottom of loaf will sound hollow - but you won't know that til you take it out!)
