This is not my recipe but one that a friend brought back to me while taking a life-long dream of a vacation in Australia. Yeah, she did the whole tour thing in the outback and loved this so much that she begged for the recipe, which she brought home to me to make for her! LOL!
Ahhh…what are friends for
Aussie Damper
4 cups self-rising flour
1 1/2 cups water
2 tbs pecan chips
a pinch of salt
2 tbs butter
1 cup grated cheese
1 tsp chives
1 tsp crisp bacon, crumbled
1 small onion
Rub the butter into the flour. Add salt. When it looks like crumbs, add water and the rest of the ingredients.
Mix with a wooden spoon until it is a sticky dough. Turn out on to a floured board and mold into a round. Place in a well-greased cake tin and cut across to make 8 or 10 servings.
Bake (at 350 degrees) for 20 minutes or it sounds hollow when you tap on it. Turn out and serve hot with butter. Servings: 8-10 depending on how it is sliced.
Note: I made this at home in the oven even though she had it made at a camp fire for breakfast. It really is very good, reheats well in the oven if you aren’t camping and I think that it would work for any meal of the day!
