beer breadThis is one of the easiest and most simple cakes to put together, and it's rich in texture and flavor. You would never even guess it was made using beer. Tastes more like a spicy yeast bread and is delicious.

I always keep a bottle of beer for cooking, often instead of wine depending on the meal. It adds a great taste for steaming sausages before grilling, in cheese dishes and whatever catches my attention. Going flat doesn't make a difference for cooking.

It's been a long time, but I remember making beer batter for onion rings and fish. Use equal amounts of beer to flour (12 oz beer to 1 1/2 c flour). Be sure to flour the food to fry before dipping in the beer batter. Deep fry at 375 degrees F and drain well on paper towels. Salt while still steaming hot. Now I'm hungry for fish and onion rings!!

Beer Bread is a great way to use up a bottle of beer. This recipe calls for a can rather than bottle and I think there might be a difference in amount, but not sure as I am not a drinker. Here is the recipe..hope you enjoy.

2 -3/4 cups flour
2 TBSP sugar
2 TBSP baking powder
1 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. oregano
1/4 tsp. thyme
pinch of garlic powder
pinch of dill weed
pinch of chili powder

(or any combination of spices that you like)
Mix dry ingredients and add 1 can of room temperature beer. Mix till just blended.
Place on greased cookie sheet ( kind of scoop it into a loaf looking blob) and bake at 375 degrees F until golden brown. Enjoy!
I brush mine with melted butter when it comes out of the oven. Hope this helps

2 Good Hints for Using Beer

1) When boiling shrimp, try using beer for the cooking liquid. Season as you wish, but don't overcook. The flavor is marvelous - a little reminiscent of lobster.

2) Use beer in place of water or stock to make an excellent beef stew. This is what the Belgians do-it's called a carbonade.

Happy eating.

Use beer for the liquid in breadmaking. Gives the yeast a boost and makes nice moist bread. You can even use flat beer for this. I can't imagine it, but if you have part of a can left in the refrig. it would work just as well as opening a new can. --Jayne

Take a roasting or frying chicken and shove a can of open beer where the "sun don't shine" spread margarine or butter on the outside with salt and pepper and pur it on your grill over medium heat. It makes a juicy and tasty chicken. Just make sure to remove the can before serving. (Just kidding ;)

I have been trying different beer bread recipes for a while and I think I have finally come up with a good one.

Beer Bread
1 bottle of beer (preferable stout, lighter beers seem to leave a baking soda taste) at room temp
3 cups of self-rising flour
3 TBLS of sugar
3 TBLS of honey
1/4 cup of melted butter

Mix ingredients together and grease a bread pan--bake for 30 minutes at 350 degrees, or until the middle bounces back.....

This bread is stout and thick, it is not light and fluffy...it is good with stew...it is a hearty bread!!!

You can put your favorite seasonings inside the beer...I am big on italian seasoning and some garlic; or you can throw in a spicy red pepper base. Rub some on the outside of the bird, also, so the flavor is all over.

Place the clams in the bottom of a clam steamer of a deep boiling pot (I use a wire basket sitting on a steel rack to fit bottom of pan). Add the beer to completely cover the clams, then add the bay leaves and the lemon juice.
