This very traditional Australian bread was the staple food of the famous Australian swagman. Traditionally it is cooked in the coals of the campfire but this version is made in your oven. It’s very quick to make and extremely versatile. Damper is a cross between a bread and a scone. It can be either sweet or savoury and the variations are endless – just use your imagination. Try a savoury damper as a side dish with soup. The swaggies often served a plain or sweet damper with butter and golden syrup (corn syrup). Served like this it’s called ‘cockie’s joy’ – a ‘cockie’ being a farm worker, and a ‘boss cockie’ being the person in charge. Damper does not keep well. It is best eaten the day it is made, but it can be frozen and reheated. Give it a try for something different!

An easy and quick mix biscuit (cookie) dough to make. You can use 3 teaspoons of ginger powder instead of 3 teaspoons of cinnamon powder. These biscuits (cookies) are great dunking biscuits. The bicuits (cookies) do have a bit of crunch in them.
embarassed to say I got this from the back of a soup packet, but it is very good. I usually just make a bacon roll and secure that with a toothpick and fry the rolls in a little olive oil til browned. Then take them out and do the chicken in the oil, remove the toothpick and add to the casserole, looks classy 🙂 have to admit that I am way to lazy to do the orange thing 🙂
Sounds delicious; sounds SO easy: found this recipe in today’s ‘Herald Sun Sunday magazine’ and just had to post it here for safe-keeping! LOVE sage – and I’ll most probably add rosemary to the sage as I have a nifty Rosemary and Sage grinder and I’ve discovered that these two work just SO well together. I’m planning on making these for over the Christmas break. And I’ll certainly be adding minced garlic. UPDATE: since two reviewers have found that their sausage rolls were slightly burnt on the bottoms, if you know your oven is inclined to be perhaps hotter than some other ovens, perhaps cook them at a slightly lower temperature even if they take a bit longer to cook.
