My Aussie Amigo, I was recently relieved of financial wellbeing and realized I only have flour, salt, sugar, two carrots and a jar of jalapeños in my kitchen. Your "damper" pulled me out of the well of culinary despair. I've never been poor before, nor have I ever been hungry...thanks to you and your "damper" I'll not know hunger. All my best to you.
@gabes Petit. "Relieved of financial wellbeing." One of the best Euphemism in a long time! Hot carroty flavoured damper. A new culinary trend? Copyright and marketing will see to it that you will never be relieved of your financial well being again.
Adding the butter to the Damper, a bush 'speciality', makes this now the Aussie answer to the Englishman's scone . Thankyou for the quick reminder how to make self-raising flour. Need that! I keep forgetting and you can't buy it where I live. And the Damper recipe came in answer to a recent thought. Serendipity. Time and thought know no boundaries when love governs.
I used to make a version of this when I was in the Boy Scouts. I would put the dough in a mess kit and put it on coals and top it off with a few coals. Now I have a name to put to mess kit bread. remember when it's smoking its cooking and when it is black its done and the sand is Boy Scout seasoning. ;-)
I remember making Damper in primary school!! It is so easy to make and very yummy with lots of butter!!! :) Also for people who dont know damper was what alot of the white man who first came to Australia used to make and eat quiet a bit when travelling and working in the outback as David said you only need flour salt and water and most of the time that is all they had to eat!!
From what I know, the name comes from how it used to be cooked (dampened and placed in the coals of a fire). Great job David, and good effort for sharing a good old aussie dish with other viewers!
Oh! I think that's quite a bit like what we Americans call biscuits. We serve it with just about any meal. The difference is that we cut them into 3" circles but the rest is pretty much the same. There are as many biscuit recipes as there are cooks. This does look lovely and the next time I make biscuits, I'll try your scone shape instead. Thanks!
Aussie TH-cam Chefs are always great to watch. I used to watch Nicko’s Kitchen and Greg’s kitchen. I think it’s having a no nonsense approach to cooking
Just made this with my daughter, used gf flour and xantham gum. So good to know we can make something easy and quick if the shops run out of bread. Need to experiment as it was a little heavy, so will be trying again soon. Thank you for the clear instructions.
It's comments like this that make me wish there was a better way to express my approval and amusement than just the simple "thumbs up." ;) Of all the cooking channels I subscribe to, your's is my favorite, but I have to say I love your personality even more than your recipes! Honestly, I never understood people who comment about sexuality when it is unrelated to the talent presented. Even taking time to say "I don't care that he's gay" when unprovoked is showing you care more than you should!!
I did this recipe exactly as you suggested, and it actually needed a lot more than 3/4 cup of water and a pinch of salt. I would say at least a tablespoon of salt and 2 cups of water are more realistic.
Absolutely - cheesy damper is delicious. You could also add a little sugar and some dried fruit to make a fruity damper. Chocolate Chips would be interesting :)
haha im from australia and no its not a biscuit is just like a really heavy loaf of bread, its really thick and fills you up heeps to be honest it doesn't taste like anything unless u put somthing on it :)
I found this recipe in a book i Bought I would make it all the time my son loves it, I would add dried rosemary to it sometimes, great recipe thanks will make soon
OMG I love Cocky's Joy, my childhood fav. And before all un-Australian's jump on my comments - Cocky's Joy is nice warm bread and golden syrup YUMMMOOOO
This is quite like our own version of bread (Irish soda), I think your great the way you make almost everything from scratch. You do ALOT of cooking and baking from scratch :-)
In the UK we used to make a lodge Yorkshire pudding until it was crispy on the edges and then cut it into squares and serve it in a bowl with heavy or double cream at the time and golden syrup! You want to talk about dessert to wow your friends that's it. :-)
This is the same recipe I use to make biscuits (in America), though typically without the butter like he mentioned in the beginning. (I usually brush it on the top before putting it into the oven and after it's done.) Though I do think adding butter into the batter like he said would add MUCH more flavor, so I think I'm going to start doing that. I might even leave it in this bread form instead of cutting it into biscuits first since it would be easier, lol.
This looks good! I cant wait to make it. Iv been wanting to make a nice drench style bread for a while now. This looks simple enough that I am definitely going to have to give it a go! Thank you for another nice video.
I enjoy your recipes. First time commenting here....that's soda bread, (I think the Irish came up with that originally). How did it become Aussie Damper?
This is a lot like what we here in the states all bannock, you might look it up and give it a go, I am going to try this one myself. Thanks for posting.

I hope you have found some financial stability by now buddy?

How are you these days Gabes?
That’s amazing !!!

I still remember the first time I had damper made over a campfire. With butter and golden syrup. 🤤🤤🤤

Best tutorial I've found yet, simple, not too bougie and effective.
Haven’t had golden syrup since childhood ... time to refresh perhaps 🤔! Damper looks terrific!

Yup, close to the same thing. Here scones tend to be sweeter while biscuits are savoy. And this is in canada as well.
Im an aussie living in america. I miss damper so much
Just made this with gluten free bread flour and 3 teaspoons baking powder. Best tasting Damper I have made. Thank you.

when a friend of mine tried your scones recipe because of my suggestion, her reaction to the knife cutting technique was "...this man is a genius"
I went to an Excursion To a gold mine and we ate damper, it was so good. I like it without Syrup.
I first had damper in cub scouts, we went to the bush on a camp and it was one f the things we made
Esekia Feata Perelini
Same! But I liked the syrup
ayy i think we all had the same excursion in aussie schools
Aussie TH-cam Chefs are always great to watch. I used to watch Nicko’s Kitchen and Greg’s kitchen. I think it’s having a no nonsense approach to cooking
your the nicest american to ever comment on an australian video. props to you
Looks magical
Very cool. Gonna have to try this!
I'll have mine smothered in butter and golden syrup thanks! OMG! I haven't had damper for years! So yummy :)
Just made this with my daughter, used gf flour and xantham gum. So good to know we can make something easy and quick if the shops run out of bread. Need to experiment as it was a little heavy, so will be trying again soon. Thank you for the clear instructions.
The damper was originally made in stock camps. Camping trips are just the modern tradition among the urban set.
WEW 30:11:2022 Mate straight to the point and syrup looks great.
Yum I love your recipes
so good thank you for this ricipe

I love damper. Brush with a little milk before baking to get a golden brown crust. Thanks for sharing.
LOVE YOU, Making this today 💓
Wanted to cook one of these indoors after the dawn service on Anzac day, this recipe was perfect timing!
I have tried this.. awesome:) thank u so much. God Bless You.
from an Aussie, that looks great, would taste amazing cooked in a camp oven on the camp fire :)
Its best eaten fresh out of the oven, but if stored in an airtight container it will last up to a day ;)
Damper is so good especially with maple syrup. Had them at Bathurst.... omg mouth is watering
I did this recipe exactly as you suggested, and it actually needed a lot more than 3/4 cup of water and a pinch of salt. I would say at least a tablespoon of salt and 2 cups of water are more realistic.
I used to make crispy damper cones then fill them with honey, mixed fruit and cashews.
Speaking of which; I have not made them in ages.
I remember this as a kid. We had a school excursion to Sovereign Hill. And it was really good.
nice, quick and easy! it's like an aussie version of irish soda bread
looks lovely man
Goodness, I couldn't imaging this damper fulfilling that roll, at least not comfortably!
Absolutely - cheesy damper is delicious. You could also add a little sugar and some dried fruit to make a fruity damper. Chocolate Chips would be interesting :)
Combining dried herbs also is great a la foccacio bread
That would be great!!
Great job man
when i'm feeling down your recipes always brighten my day~ thank you for sharing this :)))
I'd say these days beer in damper is more common than water.
No shit? IDNK that, ill give it a bash. cheers mate.
Soggy wombat. That really is a thought. Might make it rise more.
i just made some. turned out so great !
This is so much good then regular bread 🍞
I haven't had a damper in so long, I'm cooking one at the weekend
As an Australian, I've always considered it to be a kind of "Bush Tucker" bread, never a biscuit. :P
audstarful well I wouldn’t consider it bush tucker since bush tucker is Aboriginal and Damper was invented by the convicts in Sydney
baked this today, it was amazing kids had it with jam and thickened cream yummo.
Thanks. Good simple true.
I make a nice pumpkin soup, I’ve often made damper like this for people to dip in the soup. Absolutely delicious and a great “comfort food” meal
Finally! a recipe I can make! Thanks David!
Cameron Bumpus haha
Lol
fresh baked goodness!!!
going to make this tomorrow and have it with a nice stew packed with nice veggies. thanks david
Thanks mate we made this last night! Amazing, reminds me of childhood school camp
haha im from australia and no its not a biscuit is just like a really heavy loaf of bread, its really thick and fills you up heeps to be honest it doesn't taste like anything unless u put somthing on it :)
I found this recipe in a book i
Bought I would make it all the time my son loves it, I would add dried rosemary to it sometimes, great recipe thanks will make soon
Damper for dinner tonight. Gunna be freaking awesome.
3yearshardcore1 watch the language mate
Thank you! He isn't the only one to refer to it, so I was really curious!
YOURE THE BEST!
i use to make that when i went camping as a kid. good times, good times.
Delicious! I just tried it this morning, and i love it! Oh if i had just had cheese at the moment!
This is very much like American drop biscuits. But it looks so much prettier when serving it! Thanks, David!
You had me at "syrup".
Nice too spread with butter and Vegemite!
Great!!!
Yes, and he's very well fed ;)
OMG I love Cocky's Joy, my childhood fav.
And before all un-Australian's jump on my comments - Cocky's Joy is nice warm bread and golden syrup YUMMMOOOO
Don't know about Cocky's Joy, my family, especially Dad, always called it "Cocky's Delight". I got the drift though. Ahhhh! Childhood memories...
Thank you
This is quite like our own version of bread (Irish soda), I think your great the way you make almost everything from scratch. You do ALOT of cooking and baking from scratch :-)
I like your video! Easily, clear and through, now I must cook a damper!
Im from New Zealand and I remember contestants needing to make these on Masterchef Aus, Ive wanted to make one since... My tastebuds thank you!!
hahaha, you are HILARIOUS! Thank you for making my day - I really mean that!
In the UK we used to make a lodge Yorkshire pudding until it was crispy on the edges and then cut it into squares and serve it in a bowl with heavy or double cream at the time and golden syrup! You want to talk about dessert to wow your friends that's it. :-)
Mines in the oven now, god Im just so excited I can't even think right!

Thanks mate. I was looking for a good vid on this topic. There are some crappy vids but yours is great
Yum.
The dough comes togother better when you do the "cutting" motions rather than stirring with a spoon ;)
I LUV dampers!! We made them on a fire at year 8 camp!!
I enjoy your recipes. First time commenting here....that's soda bread, (I think the Irish came up with that originally). How did it become Aussie Damper?
Wow, thanks for sharing....I am definitely going to try this recipe.
I'm totally making this tomorrow
You can adapt the recipe if you like. Cheesy Damper is particularly good ;)
This is a lot like what we here in the states all bannock, you might look it up and give it a go, I am going to try this one myself. Thanks for posting.
This looks really good, thanks for all you do!
Looks super tasty and super easy :) thanks.
It's on the list ;)
This was the vid my teacher used for science its a great recipe its was great thx!
One Pot Chef your the Best!
Ohhhhh yummmmm =D
I just watch these videos to hear the sounds you make when you eat your food.
im aussie and its not a favorite but I love it and its good with golden syrup
Are buscuits in America similar to Scones in Australia? For instance, we call what you would call cookies, 'bisuits'.
Wow this looks so good!
@jayjaygibbs Thanks but I did read the post
on Wikipedia on my iPhone but there was mention as to the origin of the name.
You're an awesome chef! I love your channel!
Yum, i made a damper last year i believe and it didnt rise, so i must try your recipe and hopefully it turns out :)
