Beer Damper

I’m not a beer drinker, but I have to admit this beer damper is something else and the aroma in the kitchen as it cooked made me want to rethink my lack of love for the frothy brew. I’ve used Matso’s Mango Beer in this recipe and it’s amazing to drink and makes the best beer damper. Some great options for this damper is to add some ground pepperberry, wattleseed or lemon myrtle, all these amazing bush herbs will take your, not-so-humble, Beer Damper to whole new level, just a great Aussie BBQ addition.

 3 cups self-raising flour
 1 teaspoon of bi carb soda
 Pinch of salt
 50gm, or 3 tablespoons of butter
 2 cups of good Aussie beer, your favourite beer is good
1

Heat oven to 200°C/fan 180°C

2

Mix Flour and soda and pinch of salt together

3

Rub butter into the flour with your fingers until it resembles fine bread crumbs, don't overdo this

4

Lastly mix in the beer

5

Put into a greased pan into the oven or a billy over a camp fire and cook

6

For cooking at home in the oven put into any shape and place onto baking paper

7

Leave wrapped into a tea towel...keeps moisture in

When cooked the damper is quite crumbly and fragile, just break bits off to eat….. perfect. When it cools and the next day it’s firmer to cut, but still soft and moist.
