Cheesy Beer
Quick Bread
Ingredients:
3 cups All-purpose flour
3 Tbsp Sugar
1 Tbsp Baking powder
1 tsp Fine salt
¼ tsp Cayenne pepper
1 cup Grated cheddar cheese
1 can (355 mL) 1827 Helles Lager, at room temperature
1 Tbsp Unsalted butter
Instructions
1. Preheat oven to 375°F.
2. In a medium bowl add flour, sugar, baking powder, salt and
cayenne. Whisk to combine. Stir in cheddar cheese, add
beer and stir to moisten all of the dry ingredients. Don’t
overmix or batter will be lumpy. Pour batter into an 8-inch
by 4-inch non-stick loaf pan and drizzle the melted butter
on top.
3. Bake for about 40 minutes or until a toothpick inserted
into the centre comes out clean.
4. Remove from oven and allow loaf to cool in the pan for
about 10 minutes. Remove loaf from pan and transfer to a
wire rack to cool slightly.
5. Serve warm with more butter for spreading. Leftover bread
can be kept tightly wrapped in plastic wrap for two days or
frozen in an airtight bag for up to one month.
