Beer Bread

Beer Bread

1 can of beer, room temperature
2 T of sugar
3 Cups of self rising flour
2 T melted butter

Mix ingredients and pour into greased loaf pan, pour melted butter on top
and bake at 350 degrees for 40 min to 1 hour, depending on your oven. When it gets brown on top, it is done.

You can substitute any carbonated beverage for the beer. Keep in mind that sweet sodas like 7up, Dr pepper, etc will make a sweeter bread.

Buttermilk Corn Bread

This is a fast and easy corn bread recipe that my family really loves. My daughter loves to whip it up while I work on the rest of dinner.
