Rhubarb Ginger Damper image

Damper is a traditional Australian bread, but this version is cut up and served as a kind of scone. The recipe comes from the Australian Women's Weekly cookbook "Muffins, Scones and Breads". Recipe posted for Zaar World Tour 2005. NOTE: Australian chefs use a larger tablespoon measure so will only need 2 tablespoons of crystallised ginger and the same for the extra sugar.
