Damper is a quick bread that is fabulous with a barbecue! Damper was traditionally made in a cast-iron pot with a lid, called a “camp oven”. The entire pot was either covered in hot wood coals or the camp oven was placed in a hole in the ground and surrounded with hot wood coals. It was usually served with tea made in a billy over the camp fire. Damper was originally made with plain flour, salt and water. Adding butter and self-raising flour came later on and gives a much tastier result. I got this recipe from Taste, an Australian website. Enjoy!
Nothing matches muffins with coffee or a cup of tea. Making muffins with Rhubarb is a great way for me to get my family to eat it. This particular recipe is from a book called “Muffin Magic” by Diana Linfoot.
This recipe was given to me by a good friend, it’s quick to prepare and easy to put together. Just mix the dried ingredients in a bowl, then blend the wet ingredients in another bowl and mix them together. Please note one Australian tablespoon is four US/UK teaspoons
This is the bread made by drovers in the Australian outback. It’s great camping food as it’s traditonally cooked in the coals of a camp fire.
A wonderful recipe using fresh strawberries from Netherhill Strawberry Farm in Australia. This recipe also yields a tried and true (and reviewed) great Blueberry & Cream Bread.
