This Damper is a possibly the tastiest and lightest we've had for a long time, give it a go at your next camp fire. If ever there is any left over (doubtful) try toasting in the morning with your early cup of tea, just brilliant.

  • 1½ Cup milk
  • 1½ Cup water
  • 2 Egg beaten for glazing

 

  • 2 tsp sugar
  • 8 Cups Self Raising flour
  • 2 tsp salt

METHOD

 

  1. Preheat camp fire, hot ambers are required for camp oven.
  2. In a suitable mixing bowl sift flour, sugar and salt.
  3. Make a well in the centre of the mix and add milk and water.

  6. Grease the bottom of the camp oven and place the loaf round side up
  7. Cut a deep cross (X) in the top of the loaf and coat this with the beaten egg mixture.
