Quick Beer Bread

I don't like beer under normal conditions. I've tried. The Sicilian likes beer. Maybe that comes from the old European problem of no clean water, so they drank beer...maybe not.

Beer though, when added to the ingredients listed below and slathered in fresh butter, is transformed into a beautiful fermented, yeasty, satisfying something wonderful. This is worth going and buying a six pack of some funny named lager. Bicycle. Fat Tire. Red Shoe. Ok the last one isn't a real beer, I don't think. Sounds good though.

Do this though, and today. You'll thank me.

Quick Beer Bread

3 cups flour
3 tbsp packed brown sugar
1 tbsp baking Powder
1 tsp salt
1 12 oz room temp beer
4 tbsp melted butter

Mix the dry ingredients. (Remember my grandma? Cooking isn't hard. Just follow the general rules. Mix the dry stuff first.)

Add beer and stir 20 times to combine. Not a lot. Just enough to moisten.

Put in a 9" buttered loaf pan.

Pour melted butter over the top.

Bake at 375 35-40 min.

Try not to burn yourself after it comes out. It really will still be good if you let it cool a bit.

If you can wait, and you can plan ahead, serve it with chili or stew. Or butter.
Enjoy!
