So because every time I make it I am asked for the recipe - here it is!
Ingredients:
3 cups all purpose flour
1 tbsp baking powder
2 tbsp sugar
1 tsp salt
2 tsbp honey
1 bottle beer (I used Brava)
1/4 cup butter, melted ( I actually use more like 1/2 cup because it adds such colour and flavour)
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 350F. Grease a loaf pan with non-stick spray. Cut a piece of parchment to fit the bottom of the pan.
2. In a large bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients. Heat the honey in a glass of warm water for a few minutes to make it easier to stir, then add the honey and the beer to the batter. Mix until all ingredients are blended well.
3. Pour half of the melted butter into the bottom of the pan. Spoon in the batter, then drizzle the rest of the butter on top. If needed, spread it with a pastry brush (this gives it a nice golden crust).
4. Bake for about 60 minutes until the top is golden brown and a toothpick/knife inserted in the middle comes out clean.
Tastes great warm on its own, but it also tastes great with nutella or jam or butter spread over it. Warm bread and butter is always so amazing!
Although I haven't tried it yet, I'd like to grate some (cheddar) cheese and add it to the batter - I'm sure it'd taste amazing!
A Cheesy Variation: I've made this recipe with the addition of cheese and it turned out pretty yummy too! Most recently I used cheddar cheese - a mix of aged Balderson cheddar and a medium orange cheddar. I used about 1-1/2 cups and reserved about 1/3 cup to sprinkle on top before pouring the melted butter over top.
