Beer Bread

I had been curious about beer bread for sometime, so I finally decided to give it a try this week. Both of my kids ate it so I guess it was a hit. Beer bread is fast and easy without all of the prep time as with traditional yeast bread. This recipe has a sweet almost cornbread like flavor. I omitted the butter, but I'm sure that adds a nice flavor as well. This is perfect with your favorite bowl of chowder.

3 cups flour
3 tsp. baking powder
1 tsp. salt
1/4 cup. sugar
1 12 oz can beer
1/4 cup melted butter

Mix all of the dry ingredients together. Add your beer and fold it into the dry ingredients just until it is all incorporated. Pour mixture into a loaf pan and top with your melted butter. Bake at 375 for one hour.
