Ingredients for Apricot Damper

  • Self Rising Flour
  • Splenda Sugar Substitute
  • Dried Apricot
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • Cardamom
  • 1 cup milk

How to Make Apricot Damper

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together 3 cups all-purpose flour, 1/2 cup Splenda (or granulated sugar), 1 cup chopped dried apricots, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, and 1/2 teaspoon ground cardamom.
  3. Gradually add 1 cup milk, mixing gently until the dough just comes together. Do not overmix; a slightly shaggy dough is okay.
  4. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Knead gently once or twice to form a round loaf. Avoid over-kneading.
  5. Brush the top of the loaf with a little extra milk.
  6. Place the loaf on a greased baking sheet.
  7. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown and the internal temperature reaches 200°F (93°C).
  8. Remove from oven and let cool slightly before slicing. Serve warm with butter or your favorite spread.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Small additions can make a big impact! Try a sprinkle of fresh herbs, a dash of your favorite spice blend, or a squeeze of citrus just before serving to really enhance the flavors of your dish.
