Damper is a traditional Australian bread, but this version is cut up and served as a kind of scone. The recipe comes from the Australian Women’s Weekly cookbook “Muffins, Scones and Breads”. Recipe posted for Zaar World Tour 2005. NOTE: Australian chefs use a larger tablespoon measure so will only need 2 tablespoons of crystallised ginger and the same for the extra sugar.
This was once traditionally cooked in the ground. Posted for ZWT8, found on Aussie Cooking.com. I’ve seen lots of damper recipes, but this is the first with coconut. Sounds more like a scone… please review and let me know!

A sweet variation on traditional Aussie campfire damper – from Super Food Ideas magazine. The original recipe states to use Pink Lady apples but you could use Royal Gala’s, Grannies, or any other that took your fancy. I’m sure you could try other fruit, too.
Served warm with soup these rolls will become a regular! Wrap dampers in a clean tea towel to keep them warm for up to 30 minutes. You could replace the pepper with sea salt and rosemary, and the camembert with grated tasty cheese.
