Quick and Easy Beer Bread

I used to purchase a boxed mix of Beer Bread from Tastefully Simple, that I loved. You poured the mix into a bowl, added a can of beer and mixed. Pour butter on top and bake. The bread was delicious but the mix was almost $10.00  Recently though, I learned that you can make beer bread from scratch almost the exact same way, but very inexpensively.  Here's the recipe I found online at: http://www.recipezaar.com/recipe/Beer-Bread-73440. 


Ingredients:

3 cups of self rising flour sifted (they say in the recipe the sifting is very important)
1/4 cup sugar
one 12 ounce can or bottle of beer
1/4 cup melted butter

Directions:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees

Mix dry ingredients together.

Add bottle of beer. Mix. Batter will be lumpy.

Pour into greased loaf pan.

Pour melted butter on top.

Bake one hour and then cool 15 minutes.

*** If you are NOT using self rising flour, add the following ingredients to the dry mixture:

3 tsp. baking powder
1 tsp salt

Enjoy!
