Ingredients
- 3 cups SR flour (or 3 cups plain/all purpose flour and 1 ½ tablespoons baking powder)
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 ¼ cups milk
Instructions
- Pre-heat oven to 200 degrees celsius (fan-forced).
- Sift flour and salt into a large bowl. (OR whisk with a fork if you don't have a sifter)
- Warm milk and then add to bowl. Mix with a butter knife until mixture sticks together. If there are still dry crumbly bits in the bottom of the bowl add another 1-2 tablespoons of warm milk until mixture holds together.
- Turn dough onto a floured surface and knead very gently into a round.
- Place round onto a greased and floured baking tray. Flatten gently until round is about 13-14cm in diameter.
- Bake on bottom shelf of oven for 25 minutes or until a rich golden colour.
- Remove from oven and turn damper upside down on a wire rack to cool.
- Check the damper is cooked properly by tapping on the base. It should sound hollow. If not, return to the oven for another 5 minutes.

Notes
- Storing:
- Wrap bread in a clean tea towel and keep for a day or two only. You can also wrap in food wrap and store in the freezer for up to 6 weeks.
- Serving:
- Serve your damper warm or allow to cool.
- It’s traditionally eaten with butter or “Cocky’s Joy” (also known as Golden Syrup).
- You can also enjoy it with Vegemite, honey, jams or marmalades.
- Tips:
- If you don't have milk, or enough milk, you can substitute with water. It will still be damper, just not quite as tasty in my opinion.
- Check the damper is cooked properly by tapping on the base. It should sound hollow. If not, return to the oven for another 5 minutes.
