Let's Cook
-
Step 1.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
-
Step 2.
In a mixing bowl combine the flour, baking powder, sugar and salt.
-
Step 3.
Add the beer all at once, mixing as little as possible. Stir until all the flour is absorbed. The batter will be slightly lumpy.
-
Step 4.
Pour batter into a 9x5x3 inch greased loaf pan.
-
Step 5.
With clean fingers, smear melted butter over the top.
-
Step 6.
Optional: sprinkle herbs on top before baking.
-
Step 7.
Bake about 1 hour or until golden brown on top. The loaf will make a hollow sound when you thump it on top when it's done. Better to be a little over cooked than under cooked.
-
Step 8.
Remove from pan to cool.
