This one is from a Womens' Mag. of around 20 years ago. I've made it hundreds of times.
Cheers, Sheba.

Ingreds. :- 2 Cups S/R Flour. 1 Cup S/R Wholemeal Flour. 1/4 Cup Sunshine Instant Full-cream Milk Powder. 1/2 teaspoon Salt. 90gr. Butter. [6 Tab'spns.] 1 Cup Water. Extra Flour. xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Method :- Sift Milk Powder, Flour, and Salt into a large bowl, and rub in Butter.
Add Water. Mix lightly with a Knife using a cutting action.
Turn onto a lightly floured work surface and knead quickly, and lightly.
Shape into a 15cm. circle and place on a floured Oven Tray. Using a sharp knife, cut a cross in the top about 1cm. deep.
Sift a little extra flour over the top.
Bake in a pre-heated 200 C oven for 10 minutes, reduce heat to 180 C and bake a further 15-25 minutes.
Remove from oven and, for best results, wrap in a clean cloth. Serve while still warm with butter.

If just using Plain Flour, add 1/2 Teaspoon Carb. Soda, & 1 Teaspoon Cream of Tartar.
Like I said, I've made it often. Enjoy !!!!!
Sheba.

Hey, I know this is an old forum, but the easiest damper I've ever made consists of 3 cups SR flour, 1 tab sugar, and 1 stubby/can of beer. Mix and bake.
