PREP TIME 15 minutes COOKING TIME 40 minutes
Ingredients
- 21/2 cups self-raising flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 cup mashed pumpkin
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh lemon thyme
- 1 egg, lightly beaten
- 1 tablespoon low or reduced fat milk
- 2 tablespoons sunflower seeds
Method
- Preheat oven to 180°C. Sift the flour and baking powder into a large bowl, make a well in the centre and stir in the pumpkin and thyme.
- Whisk together the egg and milk and stir into the mixture with a flat bladed knife until a soft dough forms.
- Turn out onto a lightly floured surface and knead until smooth. Shape into a large ball and flatten slightly.
- Place onto a non stick baking tray and use a sharp knife to cut the damper into eight equal portions, but do not separate the pieces.
- Brush the damper with water and sprinkle with sunflower seeds. Bake for 40 minutes or until cooked. It will sound hollow when tapped.
- Allow to cool slightly before cutting.
Note: You will need about 400g of raw pumpkin to make 1 cup mashed.
Serves 8.
