Making Damper

In a school in the mighty Waikato 25 very amazing children made damper. This was for technology and preparation for camp. It was a challenge though; and the challenge was that we could only take a billy, a gas stove and canister, a wooden spoon,baking paper, two rods and the ingredients in the bowl. Many groups had success but one group had a bit of trouble with their gas cooker and baking paper because the baking paper CAUGHT ON FIRE!!  One member screamed like she was getting her ears pierced and all the birds flew out of all the trees surrounding where they were  cooking their damper!! One other group’s mixture for the horrible damper was all sticky and gross and they only got to make 3 and they ended up needing a lot of  flour. They took ages to cook and needed the temperature to be around oven heat. In the end at least some had damper that they could eat.
