Ingredients
Lemon Myrtle Dampers
  • 2 cups self-raising flour
  • 1/2 tsp sea salt
  • 50g butter, chilled, chopped
  • 1/2 tsp dried lemon myrtle (see note)
  • 3/4 cup milk
  • Extra milk, for brushing
  • Extra plain flour, for dusting
  • Softened butter, to serve
Method
1
Preheat oven to 200C/180C fan-forced.
2
Lightly grease a baking tray. Sift flour and salt into a large bowl. Add butter. Using fingertips, rub butter into flour mixture until mixture resembles fine crumbs. Stir in lemon myrtle. Season with pepper. Make a well in centre of flour mixture. Add milk. Stir to form a soft, sticky dough.
3
Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Knead lightly for 1 minute or until just smooth. Shape dough into 6 balls.
4
Place on prepared tray. Cut shallow slits across the top of each ball. Brush with a little extra milk. Dust with a little extra flour.
5
Bake for 15 minutes or until rolls sound hollow when tapped on top. Serve warm or at room temperature with butter.
Notes

HINT: Make dampers a day ahead and and store in an airtight container. Warm in the oven just before serving.
