GEAUX TIGERS & BEER BREAD

WOW you would swear it's the Superbowl and the Saints are in it again! Everyone south of the Mason/Dixon line is hyped up about tonight's LSU -ALABAMA match up! There are parties going on, lots of food, lots of drinking and LOTS of fun shared with friends/family...because that is how we do it in the south. (I was going to say because that's how we roll, but not a good choice of words when you are playing against Alabama) If you are going to be out there partying, have fun, be safe and don't drink and drive! AND when you get home, don't forget to set your clocks an hour back...lucky for you party people, you get an extra hour of sleep!
Have fun and.... GEAUX TIGERS!!!!!!!!

IF you have some beer left over from tonight's festivities..

you MUST make this Honey Beer Bread tomorrow...so simple and delicious!!!

Honey Beer Bread Recipe

Ingredients:

• 3 cups all-purpose flour
• 2 Tbsp. sugar
• 1 Tbsp. baking powder
• 1 tsp. salt
• 2 Tbsp. honey or agave nectar
• 1 bottle (12 ounces) beer
• 4 Tbsp. (half stick) butter, melted (**You can double this if you’d like**)

Method:

(Makes 1 loaf)

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.

Grease a 9″ x 5″ x 3″ inch loaf pan.

In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder and salt. Using a wooden spoon, stir the beer and honey into the dry ingredients until just mixed. (pop the honey in the microwave for a few seconds beforehand to make it easier to stir in!)

Pour half the melted butter into the loaf pan. Then spoon the batter into the pan, and pour the rest of the butter on top of the batter.

Bake for 50 to 60 minutes, until top is golden brown and a toothpick/knife inserted in the middle comes out clean.

Serve immediately.
