Good Aussie Tucker Mate! I use this recipe all the time and it always comes up trumps! Damper is so versatile it is so nice served spread with butter on a cold night to serve with a bowl of steaming hot soup, or with casseroles or with salads in summer. It is great served with antipasto or dips on a platter or even great to take on picnics, to serve with anything you like. For something delcious try whipping up a batch of Recipe#283917 this butter goes so well with this damper and is so delicious.

Ingredients
- 2 1/2 cups self-raising flour
- 2 teaspoons mustard powder
- 50 g butter, chopped
- 40 g tasty cheese, finely grated
- 30 g cheddar cheese, finely grated
- 1/3 cup finely chopped herbs (such as chives, parsley, basil and dill)

- 1 pinch salt and pepper (optional)
Instructions
Preheat oven to 180°C Line a baking tray with baking paper. Place flour, mustard, pinch of salt/pepper and butter in a food processor. Process until mixture resembles fine breadcrumbs. Transfer to a large bowl.
Stir in cheese and herbs. Make a well in the centre. Add milk and mix with a flat-bladed knife until mixture comes together, adding more milk if required. Take care not to overmix or damper will be tough.
Turn out dough onto a lightly floured surface. Knead until smooth. Shape into a 15cm disc.
Place on baking tray. Using a knife, score lines about 1cm deep on top of damper to divide into 6. Dust top with flour.
Bake for 30 minutes or until a skewer inserted into the centre comes out clean.
Cut hot damper into 6 wedges and serve with butter or Recipe#283917.
