Outback Damper Scones 

Recipe credit: The Camp Oven Cook: https://www.thecampovencook.com.au/

What you’ll need:

3 cups of self-raising flour

Salt

80 grams of chilled butter

3/4 cup of water

1/4 cup of currants

BBQ Grill

Alfoil

 

Directions:

Step 1: First up, combine the flour and butter in a bowl and mix with your fingertips until is starts to look like fine breadcrumbs.

Step 2: Begin to slowly add half of the water and all of the currants to the mixture and mix. Then add the rest of the water and make it into a dough. Make sure to add more flour if it looks too wet and is sticky to the bowl a lot.

Step 3: Place the dough onto a lightly floured chopping board and begin to knead until it's a round shape. Then cut the dough into seven, equal pieces and dust with more flour before rolling them all into individual balls.

Step 4: Prepare your camp oven and place a piece of greaseproof paper into the bottom. Then add your scones spread out on top of the paper and place the lid onto the camp oven. Put the over your fire put for about 20 minutes on a medium heat.

Step 4: Once they are looking all golden brown, double check the centre of the scones are fully cooked by poking it with a skewer in the middle. If the skewer is clean, these bad boys are ready to take out and serve. If not, keep them in for a little longer and check frequently every few minutes to make sure you don't burn them.

Step 5: Serve up to your mum with her favourite topping of choice or serve them plain (just as delicious) and dig in!
