SWEET DAMPER WITH DRIED FRUIT



Sweet Damper with Dried Fruit image

I have cooked this recipe a hundred of times and it is a real hit with kids and adults alike. Traditionally I have always used a camp oven, which is a cast-iron pot with a lid. You can even cook this at home in your conventional oven. The ingredients are very traditional and generally found in everyone's pantry. These have been proven to last much longer in very hot conditions and even in the humid tropics. Dampers are traditionally served with a cup of black tea, however just use a drink of your own choice. Serve with butter and golden syrup, treacle, refined molasses, or jam.

Time 1h13m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 10

½ teaspoon butter
4 cups all-purpose flour
8 teaspoons baking powder
2 tablespoons white sugar
2 tablespoons powdered milk, or more as needed
½ teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon butter, softened, or more as needed
1 cup raisins, or to taste
1 ½ cups cold water, or as needed
1 ½ teaspoons powdered milk

Steps:

  • Build a campfire and allow the fire to burn until it has accumulated a bed of coals. Rake the coals into a flat bed on one side of the fire. Grease the inside of your camp oven lightly with 1/2 teaspoon butter and place it on the coals, preheating it to about 425 degrees F (218 degrees C).
  • Mix flour, baking powder, sugar, 2 tablespoons powdered milk, and salt together in a bowl. Rub butter gently through the mixture. Mix raisins in by hand. Make a well in the center of the mixture. Add cold water, 1 tablespoon at a time, mixing well after each addition, until dough stops sticking to the sides of the bowl.
  • Dissolve 1 1/2 teaspoons powdered milk in an equal amount of water in a bowl.
  • Turn dough out onto a floured board and knead gently a few times. Shape into a rough circle or loaf about 1 1/2 inches thick. Place in the preheated camp oven. Brush the top of the damper with the dissolved milk.
  • Cover and bake over the fire until a skewer inserted into the center comes out clean, about 30 minutes.
  • Lift the lid with a metal tent peg and remove the damper carefully. Cover with a dry towel, and let rest in a warm place for 3 to 4 minutes before serving.
