Damper

Method

1. Find 8 long sticks (about 50cm) and cover half of each one with foil. Put the flour into a big bowl. Add the sugar and mix. Pour 200ml water onto the flour and mix to a dough. Knead lightly in the bowl until the dough comes together, then set aside for 10 minutes.
2. Divide the mixture in half, then break each half into 4 equal pieces so that you have 8 pieces of dough.
3. Take 1 lump of dough and roll it between your hands to make a sausage shape. Wrap the dough around the foil-covered end of the stick and gently press it onto the stick so that it won’t fall off.
4. Cook the dampers over a campfire or barbecue for 10-12 minutes – keep turning them so they turn golden brown all over.
5. Carefully tap the dough with your finger – when it’s cooked, it should feel solid when you tap it. Wrap some kitchen paper or a napkin around the damper and pull off the stick.
6. Fill the middle of each damper with either jam or chocolate spread.
