Each and every season has its colour palate and Autumn is no exception. Vivacious oranges and reds, yellows and burnt ambers…
With all these wonderful warming hues, I couldn’t resist buying some fresh butternut pumpkin and making this recipe of pumpkin and walnut damper.
Read on for the recipe…
This recipe is one of our favourites, piping hot with a little melted butter. The original recipe is for a covered barbecue but works well in a hot conventional oven.
Recipe: Pumpkin and Walnut Damper
3 cups self raising flour
50g butter
1 cup chopped walnuts
1 1/2 cups mashed pumpkin (about 600g pumpkin)
1/3 cup natural yogurt (approximately)
Line a 20cm round cake pan with oven proof paper. Place in a mixing bowl,sifted flour and rub in butter.Sir in nuts, pumpkin and enough yogurt to mix to a soft ,sticky dough.
Turn dough onto floured surface,knead until smooth.Place into prepared pan and cook in high oven for about 30 minutes or until damper sounds hollow when tapped.
The outside layer should be crusty.
This damper isn’t bread so the texture isn’t light, but delicious the same.Serve on it’s own or a great compliment with cheeses, dried fruits and nuts.Tasty-!
Have a look at A Beautiful Mess, pizza it is…and Beauty and Bedlam. who host Tasty Tuesday’s a great way to bloghop, and catch up with some of the recipes and favourites around our world.
Enjoy! Have a great Tuesday…

Hi Barb, Damper is all “Australian”..developed by stockman on their long away from home runs, using the coals of their campfires to make this style of bread.Modern tech here though…not too many ingredients…or kneading needed..yummy all the same!Thanks for calling by.
