Ingredients

• 3 cups sifted all-purpose flour
• 3 teaspoons baking powder
• 1/4 cup sugar
• ½ teaspoon salt
• 12 ounce can beer
• ½ stick (1/4 cup) butter, melted

Directions

• 1. Preheat the oven to 375F degrees and spray a 9x5-inch loaf pan with non-stick spray. Whisk the flour, baking powder, sugar and salt together in a large bowl.
• 2. Next stir in the beer until fully combined.
• 3. Pour the batter into the loaf pan and spread it out.
• 4. Pour the butter on top of the batter in the pan.
• 5. Bake for 45 minutes to one hour. The bread will be done when the top turns a dark golden brown color and a toothpick comes out clean when inserted into the center of the bread.
• 6. NOTE: Oven times DO vary depending on what type of pan you use (metal, Pyrex or ceramic) as well as what rack you are baking it on, etc. so the best way to tell is to check it around the 40-45 minute mark with a toothpick to check for doneness. You can also tell by how brown it is getting on top. If you think it is getting too brown and the center isn't done yet, try tenting it with some aluminum foil then continue baking.
• 7. Slice and serve with butter, if desired.
