What fun these 2 had on the holidays.
They googled a recipe for damper.
Collected twigs from the backyard and found a spot to clear for a fire.
Rubbed their damper mixture and kneaded the dough.
Started the fire and let it get hot.
Wrapped the damper around a thick branch.
Turned it over and over to cook in the fire.
When the outside was golden they broke it of and smothered it in butter and golden syrup.
This was a real success boys, you planned it well and showed great initiative.
