Ingredients
1 Self Raising Flour-3 cups, sifted
1 tsp Salt
.66 cup Parmesan -grated
.25 cup Spring onion-chopped
3 tbsp Chives
1 tbsp Caster sugar
375 ml number Beer can
Directions
- Preheat oven to 190 degrees and prepare an oven tray by lightly greasing it.
- In a large bowl, sift together the flour and salt. Add in the parmesan, chives, spring onions and caster sugar.
- In the centre of your bowl create a well. Pour in the beer, and using a butter knife mix it quickly to create a soft and sticky dough. Be cautious not to over mix.
- Turn your dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead it lightly. You can either split this dough into a few smaller dampers, or make a large one. Form your dough into one or more rounds and place on your greased oven tray.
- Bake for 30-40 minutes, or until the damper sounds hollow when you tap it. Cool for a minimum of 10 minutes before slicing, then serve warm with lots of butter!
