- Preheat oven to 200°C.
- Sieve the flour, salt, baking powder and bicarbonate into a bowl. Add the sugar and mix well.
- Dissolve the Vegemite in the milk in a saucepan over a low heat – or this can be mixed and then heated in the microwave.
- Stir the dissolved Vegemite/milk mixture and some of the beer into the dry mixture until a pliable dough is formed. Turn out onto a floured surface and roll into a round shape.
- Place on a greased oven tray, moisten the top with water and sprinkle with grated cheese.
- Using a knife, score lines about 1cm deep on top of damper to divide into 6.
- Bake in the oven for 25-30 minutes until golden and when you tap the underside it sounds hollow.
