Damper goes up market.
Permalink  

I was in both Rays Outdoors & BCF yesterday and they were both selling premixed damper packets for $11.95.

I thought damper was poor mans bread but obviously not at that price.

I'll be taking Aldi bread with me @ $0.99 cents a loaf and my own damper ingredients when I next go bush.

Cheers,

John

Damper is what you make yourself in open fire,does not  come in a packet

At that current price it will be on sale real soon, I agree the best Damper is the one you make yourself.

Absolutally right - However the premix damper packets contain "all the ingredients" for $11.95. The point of the thread was the cost  not the making of the damper which hasn't changed to my knowledge.

I prefer to use my own recipe and ingredients.

Best damper I ever had was at the Willie Creek Pearl farm near Broome. It was more like cake.

Can't comment on the high price as never bought it but will say the price would be the same at Rays Outdoors and BCF as they are the same company.

Hmmm......just got the info wrong Helena, it was onion flakes, not chopped onion, onion flakes were soaked in a bit of hot water to make it swell etc, then added to the mix.......will put the full recipe in the What's Cooking part of the forum when SWMBO writes it out for me. Please note this is not a basic damper, but a variation, but still made with plain flour.....

 Here here! Jondaryan is a must see, not just for the damper.

My b-i-l makes the best damper. He also does a great roast in the camp oven.

I don't know how to make a damper, I just like to eat it, drizzling with butter and golden syrup.biggrin

Unless the page has been deleted, there should be some good Damper recipes in the relevant place already guys.  I know I posted on some time back, and I'm sure there were others too.

Cheers,

Sheba.

I've had some lovely hand made dampers which come out light and fluffy, and delicious.
I've also had some which weigh as much as a house brick and sink to the bottom of the gut when eaten. I don't know what they do to get it so heavy.
The secret is don't work it to much. Mix it and cook it. Some put sugar in it, but I prefer just a touch of salt.
have fun everyone. Damper and golden syrup. Mmmmmm!
