Plain Buns

I went though alot of recipes of different plain buns and I have come to the conclusion that it is basically a bun which you can practically eat with anything, be it as a side dish of a steak meal or a dessert. Some buns even have fillings in them such as BBQ meat fillings or even red bean paste to be eaten as a light meal. Also, most of the recipes I came across has the basic essential ingredients such as flour, milk and egg. Thus, it is a very versatile recipe that can have many variations to it.

A relative to the plain bun is a damper. Damper is a traditional Australian soda bread prepared by swagmen, drovers and other travelers. It consists of a wheat flour based bread, traditionally baked in the coals of a campfire. Damper is an iconic Australian dish. It is often eaten with cooked meat or golden syrup.

I was lucky enough to get to learn how to make the damper first hand and it only requires flour, milk and a little water to make it.


I ofcourse ate it with golden syrup. No way was I eating it with kangaroo meat!
