Beer Belly Bread

A delicious bread that can be served and eaten the same way as you would Corn-Bread.


Ingredients:
•5 cups all-purpose flour* 
•3 teaspoons double-acting baking powder* 
•1 1/2 teaspoons salt 
•1 1/2 cups sour cream 12 ounces
•5 tablespoons sugar 
•12 ounces beer 
•1 tablespoon margarine 
•1/2 teaspoon mixed herbs optional

* If using self-rising flour, omit the baking powder and salt. Use a combination 
  of herbs and spices as you wish. Try some dried basil, oregano, sage and rosemary.

Method:
•1. Combine sifted flour, sugar, baking powder & salt in a bowl, blend well.

•2. Pour in the sour cream and beer and mix thoroughly but do not beat mixture. 
    grease a 2-1/2 quart baking dish or similar sized pan. Preheat oven to 350°F.

•3. Pour mixture into pan and bake for 40-45 minutes.

•4. Remove and brush top with 1 tablespoon margarine. Return to oven and bake 15 
    minutes longer, or until browned and sounds "hollow" when tapped.

•Notes: This bread does not keep as well like regular biscuits or bread.  It has
        to be eaten right away. Leftovers do make good toast however.
