Ingredients:  
2 cups self-raising flour, sifted
1/4 teaspoon salt
30g (1 ounce) butter or margarine, in small pieces
1 cup grated tasty cheese ( the word 'tasty' is used in Australia the way 'sharp' is used in the US.)

2 tablespoons chives, chopped
1/2 cup milk
1/2 cup water
1 tablespoon parmesan cheese

Directions:
Directions:
Preheat oven to 220°C (425°F).

Sift flour and salt together in a large bowl. Using fingers rub in the chopped butter until it is the consistency of breadcrumbs. Add cheeses and chives. Mix well.

Combine milk and water. Make a well in flour and pour in all of the liquid, reserving a little for glaze. Mix quickly into a soft dough, using a knife or the hands.

Turn onto a lightly floured board and knead lightly. Press into a round. Place onto a greased baking tray. Glaze with leftover milk and water mixture and sprinkle with extra cheese.

Bake 15-20 minutes in preheated 220°C (425°F) oven, and serve sliced with butter.

Individual dampers can also be shaped and baked for the same time and temperature.

Personal Notes:
Personal Notes:
Damper is the tradition bushman's bread. Simple to make and long keeping. In the bush it was cooked under the hot coals of a fire whilst wrapped in foil. It was enjoyed with a cup of sweet tea under the shade of a tree out of the sun.
