The following ingredients have 6 Servings
  • 1 cup (150g) raisins
  • 1/4 cup (60ml) dark rum
  • 2 cup (300g) self-raising flour
  • 1/2 cup (110g) caster (superfine) sugar
  • 2 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • 1 cup (250ml) buttermilk, approximately
  • 60 gram (2 ounces) butter

Instruction

  • Combine raisins and rum in a small bowl.
  • Combine flour and sugar in a large bowl. Make a well in the centre, add raisin mixture, oil and enough buttermilk to mix to a soft sticky dough. Knead on a floured surface until smooth.
  • Press dough into a 15cm (6-inch) circle, place in a large greased camp oven. Cut a cross in the top of the dough about 1cm (½-inch) deep. Brush top with a little extra buttermilk; dust with a little extra flour.
  • Cook damper, covered, about 35 minutes or until damper sounds hollow when tapped.
  • Serve damper warm with butter.
