Bush Tomato Damper

A bush tomato is an Australian native berry related to the tomato. Sun-dried tomatoes can be subbed. Dampers are usually baked in one loaf, like soda bread, but these are shaped into rounds like American biscuits.

Australian Rosemary Damper

Damper is best served hot with butter. Cooked damper can be frozen for two months. This came from Australian Women’s Weekly – Cooking with Herbs.

Pumpkin & Chive Damper

Damper is an Australian Bread. A very quick & simple side to make using mashed pumpkin. A beautiful golden colour when cooked, best served warm straight from the oven but will keep for a few days wrapped in plastic or an airtight container.

Kangaroo and Beer Pie with Damper Pastry

This was in our Age Sunday supplement. I’m posting it in honour of Australia Day, but have to admit I personally couldn’t eat kangaroo meat and would make it with lamb or beef! Prep time includes chill time.

Kumara (Sweet Potato) Dampers

From the Australian Women’s Weekly Gluten-free and Allergy-free cookbook. Haven’t tried so times are as per recipe in cookbook. After first two reviews I have changed the cooking times, hopefully they will reflect the right timing.
