Last night the Cubs tried their hand at a spot of baking (well I think that’s what you call it) using an age old recipe for Australian Damper Bread.
In colonial Australia, stockmen developed the technique of making damper out of necessity. Often away from home for weeks, with just a camp fire to cook on and only sacks of flour as provisions, a basic staple bread evolved. It was originally made with flour and water and a good pinch of salt, kneaded, shaped into a round, and baked in the ashes of the campfire or open fireplace.
As you can see the kids enjoyed getting their hands and uniforms dirty.
