Yet ANOTHER excellent vid! Not since the days of "The Bushtucker Man" programmes have I seen such easily watchable, informative and entertaining vids. Your conversational delivery really shows you love your outdoors. You're a natural at this, I hope the networks are watching! Many thanks. P.S. What you call damper, we call Bannock here in Scotland.

Coming from western USA, I've used all kinds of stuff in my damper. Such as Cornmeal, currants, orange and lemon zest, and Sourdough starter. I like your idea for Sticky Damper too. Making damper reminds me alot of making Irish soda bread. Thanks for the video.

Damper wow what a subject, you are correct, infinite variety, mine I add butter like you but use firm butter and mix it in the flour to make crumbs. And I add also 1 tablespoon of sugar with the salt. But the main thing is I use lemonade instead of water. Makes it rise. Thanks a great sensible channel, looking forward to all your videos.

Thanks so much Roger for being part of the channel community! I'm just getting started:) I've heard about the lemonade method, I'll have to try it further. I know beer can work too. I dreamt up comparing an ale Vs lager Vs a hoppy beer like an IPA and see what tastes best in damper....but maybe Ill start with the lemonade!

With flour and water, make a dough, a pinch of salt and a pinch of soda then mix it all until its just right. Self-raising flour is used instead of plain flour and baking soda. Cook it covered in the warm ashes of a cooling fire, then dust the ash off when it tapped hollow. Serve with a billy of tea. I'm now in my late fifties, and this is the recipe I learned by heart when I was a lad. As a boy scout, the "legend" we were told was that indigenous Australians used to use the brown seed heads/catkins from bull rushes to make a type of bread. I never verified the truth of it, but that was what I was told.

One option for damper is to use soda water, this will make it lighter/fluffy on the inside. Some use lemonade but this tends to make it too sweet for my liking
