How To Make classic australian damper with golden syrup butter

• 1

  Preheat oven to 375°F. Grease and flour a round baking pan; set aside. (You can substitute and use a flat parchment-lined baking sheet, but using a round baking pan helps to better shape the bread.)
• 2

  Sift flour and sugar into a mixing bowl. Add the butter, and rub butter into the flour mixture until it resembles fine breadcrumbs.
• 3

  Make a well in the center of the mixture, and add the milk. Stir until a dough forms. Turn out dough onto a lightly floured surface, and knead gently until smooth. Shape into a round ball, and place in prepared baking pan.
• 4

  Using a sharp knife, score a shallow cross into the top of the damper. Brush the top with milk, and dust lightly with flour.
• 5

  Bake in preheated over for 35 to 40 minutes or until damper is golden brown and sounds hollow then tapped on top. Transfer to a wire rack to cool slightly.
