  • 2 teaspoons mustard powder
  • 50 g butter, chopped
  • 40 g tasty cheese, finely grated
  • 30 g cheddar cheese, finely grated
  • 1/3 cup finely chopped herbs (such as chives, parsley, basil and dill)
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1 pinch salt and pepper (optional)

Method

  • Preheat oven to 180°C Line a baking tray with baking paper. Place flour, mustard, pinch of salt/pepper and butter in a food processor. Process until mixture resembles fine breadcrumbs. Transfer to a large bowl.
  • Stir in cheese and herbs. Make a well in the centre. Add milk and mix with a flat-bladed knife until mixture comes together, adding more milk if required. Take care not to overmix or damper will be tough.
  • Turn out dough onto a lightly floured surface. Knead until smooth. Shape into a 15cm disc.
  • Place on baking tray. Using a knife, score lines about 1cm deep on top of damper to divide into 6. Dust top with flour.
