Damper

Method

Mix the flour with the salt in a large bowl. Add the butter and rub it into the flour with the tips of your fingers, until it resembles fine crumbs.

Stir in the milk with a round blade knife (butter knife) to make a soft, but not sticky dough.

Turn out onto a lightly floured work surface and shape into a soft, smooth ball.

Set the ball of dough onto a tray or baking sheet and flatten gently to make a round about 17cm across.

Cut a deep cross in the dough and brush lightly with milk. Bake at 190C for 30 minutes until golden.

Serve warm or at room temperature.

Note: Can be frozen for up to 1 month. Back to top
