Hi All, try this for an easy damper

2 to 3 cups of self raising flour (this would feed approx 4 people)

good pinch of salt

2 tablespoons of sugar

1 can of beer (a light amber beer works well or if you want a robust bread try some dark beer)

mix dry ingredients and pour enough beer to make a moist dough

mix until you get a breadroll kinda shape

place in a hot camp oven that has some oil in the bottom

cook slow, test with skewer to see when it comes out clean (it will be ready when the skewer comes out clean also if you tap the damper it should sound hollow)

I thought a damper was something you opened in your fire place to let the smoke out?

Ha, Just picking on ya. I take it this is a bread recipe?

Damper, we just call it Beer Bread and make it more as a batter. Toss in a cup of shredded pepper cheese to liven it up Also fries up into real nice hotcakes.
