The soup threads led me to share this recipe I got from the Victoria Advocate a couple of years ago. Nothing better than a delicious bread to go with a good soup or chili! It's quick, easy, and really good. The original recipe was called "Laura's Amazing Jalapeño Beer Bread."
3 c. all-purpose flour
3 tsp. baking powder
1 tsp. salt
1/4 c. sugar
1/4 c. pickled jalapeños, seeded and chopped
1 c. shredded cheddar cheese
12 oz. beer
1/2 c. melted butter
Preheat oven to 375. Measure and then sift the flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar into a mixing bowl. (Or just measure and whisk the dry ingredients, combining well). Add the chopped jalapeños and cheese and stir well. Pour beer into bowl and mix until blended.
Pour mixture into greased loaf pan and pour melted butter over the mixture. Don't skimp on the butter...use the full 1/2 cup!
Place loaf pan on another pan (in case of overflow) and bake 1 hour or until golden brown. Cool 5-10 minutes, then remove from pan. Cool an additional 10 minutes, then slice and enjoy. *I like to use Shiner Bock or Amber Bock, but any beer will work.
