Serves/Makes:varies

Ingredients

• flour
• salt, to taste
• water

Preparation

• To cook damper successfully, the camp oven should be half buried in coals and more coals stacked up on the lid to brown the top of the bread.
• Mix flour and salt to a thick, scone-like dough with water.
• Knead a few times, then place in base of camp oven.
• Cover with lid and heap coals on top.
• Cook about 20 minutes.
• The legs of camp oven will keep it just above the coals so the base of bread will not burn.
• Twisters: Pull off balls of damper dough and roll between fingers into long strip.
• Wrap strip in overlapping circles around one end of a long thin green stick.
• Cook, turning, over hot coals for 10-15 minutes.
• Twister should lift free of stick quite easily.
• To eat fill with butter and jam.
