*Reviewed during ZWT5 Family Picks Australia and New Zealand for Chow Hounds Team* Perfect plain damper that my family enjoyed with dinner tonight. SO easy to make and tasted just right. You can add extras to this damper like herbs, sprinkle cheese over the top or add in dried fruits to make it sweeter, such as sultanas or raisins. Photo alos being posted -
This reminded me of a home-made biscuit but in a bread form. It is a dense bread but nice and crispy on the outside. I made it for breakfast and added some butter to the wedge and had some fruit with it. Thanks for sharing the recipe Virginia!! Made for ZWT 5!!
