Easy Beer Bread

I found this recipe somewhere in cyberspace. I feel badly because I have no idea where, and it's one of the best and easiest recipes I've ever found for homemade bread. If you know me at all, you know I'm a no-muss, no-fuss kinda gal. I don't knead, and I don't like waiting for things to rise. When I found this recipe I thought I'd try it - only three ingredients and it sounded easy. It was, and it was delicious too. Easy and quick enough for a weeknight, using three simple ingredients, two of which you probably have in your kitchen right now. I had to buy the self-rising flour, but I've used it a few times since (for this bread of course).

Quick & Easy Beer Bread

3 cups self-rising flour
3 Tablespoons sugar
1 bottle (12 oz.) beer (Budweiser works best for cooking/baking in my opinion)

Preheat oven to 375°F. Spray loaf pan with non stick spray. Sift flour (important or your bread will be like a brick) into a medium sized bowl. Mix in sugar, then pour in beer, mix well. Spoon batter in pan. Bake in 375 oven for 50 minutes. Pour a little melted butter over top and sprinkle with parmesan cheese then bake about 10 more minutes. Let cool in pan for a few minutes before removing and slicing.

By the way, sifting flour is as easy as pouring it into a strainer and just shaking it through. You don't need one of those silly cups with the squeezy handle to do this. Sure, they're cool but what a pain in the butt that would be.

Enjoy!

Tutorial: Baby blanket and matching "tie" onesie

Image
Hello bloggy friends! 2011 is off and running and as usual, so am I. I was hoping to get more recipes posted but just been too busy! With what, you ask? Here's a start... Onesie and blanket sets I went to a post-partum baby shower for two of my friends and wanted to stick with my goal for this year of making gifts - but what to do? Since the babies were already born in November, and also were the second child in each family, I knew the gals would already have all the basics covered. I did some crafty blog searching and found this tutorial from Sew Dang Cute for wide binding and mitred corners on a sweet little minky-backed baby blanket. Unfortunately I got lost along the way on the binding part, but figured out how to do it my own way and they both turned out terrific! Again, this is not my original idea  - all the credit goes to Tam at  Sew Dang Cute . If you like to sew I highly recommend giving this project a try - the blanket was easy to do, though I now wish I...

Penguin cookies

Made these little cuties this weekend for my friend Leslie's 50th birthday party. As you could probably guess she collects penguins. It was my first experience using black icing - interesting. I had to remind myself that the color would darken after some time. At first it was an unappetizing gray-purple but as you can see it turned out black (as did our tongues after eating them). People say the black tint changes the flavor of the royal icing but I couldn't tell. Maybe because most if it was covered with white. It did take quite a lot if gel though. I used Americolor gel colors, in case you were wondering.
