Ingredients

  1. 3 cups flour (sifted)
  2. 3 teaspoons baking powder (omit if using Self-Rising Flour)
  3. 1 teaspoon salt (omit if using Self-Rising Flour)
  4. 1/4 cup sugar
  5. 1 (12 ounce) can beer
  6. 1/2 cup melted butter (1/4 cup will do just fine)

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
  2. Mix dry ingredients and beer.
  3. Pour into a greased loaf pan.
  4. Pour melted butter over mixture.
  5. Bake 1 hour, remove from pan and cool for at least 15 minutes.
  6. For a softer crust, mix the butter into the batter instead of pouring it over the top.
