Chocolate Damper

I've been looking at the hot coals in our fire place every night and tonight I decided to make use of them by making damper with the kids.  It was SO GOOD, we'll definitely be making it again!  :)

Recipe: (adapted from bestrecipes.com.au)

Ingredients:
250g self-raising flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
25 gram butter
175 mL milk
Chocolate surprise for the centre of the damper

Method:

1.  Mix the flour and salt in a large bowl.  Add the butter and rub it in to the flour with your fingertips until is resembles fine breadcrumbs.

2.  Stir in the milk to make a soft but not sticky dough.

3.  Turn out onto a floured board and shape into a soft, smooth ball.

4.  Set the ball of dough onto foil and add the chocolate surprise by pushing the chocolate pieces into the centre of the dough.


5.  Flatten gently, wrap in foil. About 6 layers of foil works well.


6.  Place the damper on the hot ashes and coals and spread some over the top.


7.  Cook for approx 30 minutes.  Serve warm or at room temperature.  ENJOY!
