Aussie Damper - Sweet or Savoury- You Decide image

A really easy damper recipe- I remember making these when I was still at school. To make a savoury damper, you can really add any herbs of choice, such as chopped parsley, chives, cracked black pepper. Damper is usually served with lashings of butter or for a sweet damper with butter, honey, golden syrup or strawberry jam

110 g tasty cheese or 100 g cheddar cheese
2 tablespoons golden syrup or 2 tablespoons honey
2 tablespoons caster sugar

Steps:
