#1269 - Beer Bread

(by Aunt Isabelle "Snooky" [McNevich] Worhach)

3 cups SELF-RISING flour
3 TBSP white sugar
1 - 16oz. bottle of your favorite beer
2 TBSP or more butter (melted)

In a large bowl add flour and white sugar--stir. Add the beer--mix with your hands or with a pastry blender until it forms a dough ball. Grease a bread loaf pan. Put the dough into the greased bread pan and work it around with your fingers until the bottom of the pan is covered. Bake at 350 for 45 minutes. Remove from oven, use a brush to baste the whole top of the bread with the melted butter, return to oven and bake 15 minutes longer.
