There are times when we try an inexpensive, seasonal beer that seems to taste great--for the first half of the bottle. Then, it can get overwhelming by the time you reach the bottom.
With a 5-pack left of things like pumpkin, vanilla/bourbon, or other fruit/spice (cheap) beers that just weren't brewed to our liking--we had to come up with some way to use the beer without actually having to drink it or inflict it upon friends (in beverage form). So, here is an easy beer bread recipe.
Beer Bread
• 3 cups self-rising flour (All-Purpose works too)
• 1/2 cup sugar
• 12 oz beer
• 2 tbl melted butter/margarine (optional)
Preheat oven to 375 (or experiment with 400 for high altitude). Butter/spray a loaf pan and set aside. In a large bowl, combine flour, sugar, and beer and mix well. Note: pour the beer slowly to minimize bubbles. The mixture should be sticky. Pour into the loaf pan and bake 50-55 minutes. Optional: at the last 3 minutes of baking, brush the top with butter and return to the oven. 4-6 servings.
