Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 350 grams self-raising flour
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 60 grams unsalted butter
- 200 ml sour cream
- 100 ml milk
- 2 tablespoons chives, finely chopped
- 2 tablespoons additional self-raising flour for dusting
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 200°C (390°F). Line a baking tray with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the self-raising flour and salt.
Add the butter to the bowl and use your fingertips to rub it into the flour mixture until it resembles fine breadcrumbs.
Stir in the finely chopped chives to evenly distribute them throughout the flour mixture.
In a separate jug, whisk together the sour cream and milk until smooth.
Make a well in the center of the flour mixture and pour in the sour cream mixture. Using a butter knife, mix the ingredients together until a soft, sticky dough forms.
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and gently knead it 2-3 times to bring it together. Be careful not to over-knead, as this will make the damper tough.
Shape the dough into a round, approximately 15 cm (6 inches) in diameter, and place it onto the prepared baking tray.
Use a sharp knife to score a deep cross (about 1cm deep) into the top of the dough. Dust the surface lightly with additional self-raising flour.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the damper is golden brown and sounds hollow when tapped on the base.
Remove from the oven and allow to cool on a wire rack for 10 minutes before serving. Serve warm or at room temperature.
