Simple Damper Recipe

For me the perfect recipe is a Damper, it has only got three basic ingredients, Self Raising Flour, a pinch of salt and a little bit of water, so it is relatively cheap if you burn it.

All you need to do is combine the ingredients in a bowl until combined, and place the damper in the bottom of a camp oven, pop on the lid and cook with some heat on the top and bottom.
