Warrigal Greens Damper (PDF, 82kb) - Burleigh Heads State School

• Line a baking tray with baking paper.
• In a mixing bowl combine flour, butter(80g) and salt.
• Use your finger tips to rub the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles
bread crumbs.
• Add the water to the flour mixture and use a butter knife in a cutting motion to just
mix ingredients together, add 1-2 more table spoons of extra water if the mixture is
a little dry. Use your hands to bring the mixture together.
• Mix the flour mixture with the warrigal greens and sweet potato.
• Turn the mixture out onto a lightly floured bench and knead gently for 1 minute
until smooth.
• Divide the dough into 3 and shape into a disc shape. ( at home make one large 18cm
disc) Place onto the tray.
• Mark 8 wedges of top using a sharp knife that has been dipped in flour.
• Bake for 20minutes or until damper is cooked through and sounds hollow when
tapped on the base. (40minutes for one large damper)
• Transfer to a rack and allow to cool for 5 minutes.
• Serve warm with butter.
Notes: Warrigal Greens are a leafy vegetable like spinach. They grow naturally along the
gold coast beaches and creeks.
