Instructions
- Step 1: Preheat oven to 375°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. In a large bowl, combine 4 cups self-raising flour with 1 tsp salt.
- Step 2: Rub 4 tbsp cold cubed butter into the flour mixture using your fingertips until it resembles fine breadcrumbs.
- Step 3: Stir in 1/2 cup grated carrot, 1/2 cup grated zucchini, and 1/4 cup chopped spring onions evenly.
- Step 4: Gradually add 1 1/2 cups milk, mixing gently with a wooden spoon until a soft dough forms.
- Step 5: Turn the dough onto a floured surface and knead lightly for 1 minute until smooth.
- Step 6: Shape the dough into a round loaf about 8 inches in diameter and place it on the prepared baking sheet.
- Step 7: Mix 3 tbsp honey with 1 tbsp ground roasted wattleseed and brush this glaze generously over the top of the loaf.
- Step 8: Bake for 40-45 minutes until the damper is golden brown and sounds hollow when tapped.
- Step 9: Remove from oven, brush again with the honey-wattleseed glaze, and let cool slightly before slicing and serving warm.
