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!
This is an Australian bread which has been made for over 100 years. It was made by people camping in the bush by mixing flour and water, but now milk and salt are used for flavor. Enjoy the bread spread with jam. There are many variations to the recipe too, such as pumpkin damper. The dough was traditionally places on a stick and cooked over a fire (much the same way toasted marshmallows. are made)
