I get more requests for this recipe than any other, it seems. I can’t remember where I got it – I think I may have copied it from a TV show years and years ago. Before the Food Network sucked.

Anyway, here it is.

3 cups self-rising flour, or make your own with 1 1/2 teaspoons of baking powder and 1/2 teaspoon of salt per cup of regular flour
1/2 cup sugar
12 oz beer

Mix the flour and sugar together, then slowly pour the beer down the sides of the bowl and mix. Put in buttered loaf pan. Bake 30 minutes, baste the top with melted butter, bake another 30 minutes, baste again, then bake a final 30 minutes (1.5 hrs total).

I’ve used several kinds of beer with this recipe – everything from cheap lagers like PBR and Coors to dark stouts/porters like Guinness. You could really experiment with different beers and maybe more/less sugar or other ingredients with this super easy recipe.
