Stove Top Beer Bread

when I want something quick to eat :)

I don't know why, but this seems to always be the bread I will make to eat on Sunday nights :) Don't ask---I'm a reverend's daughter, and I'm making beer bread, but there you go! It's kind of a "take off" from Indian Fry Bread (I'm originally from Arizona, so Oldham Tash every year held glorious fry bread for me)---I made it up in my head!

Basically, you mix 2 cups of white flour, a pinch of salt, a pinch of sugar (to taste), 1 heaping tsp. of baking powder, 1-2 cups of cold water, and about 1/2 bottle of beer. I used the Sierra Nevada Pale Ale, but you can use any beer. Here it is in the bowl (which happened to be the only bowl that was clean!). Mix it well---it'll be sticky :)
You then grease a pan (either with non-stick spray or butter---I used butter because that was what we had), and drop forkfuls or spoonfuls of batter into the skillet. Then cook it just like you would a pancake (I tend to like mine a little doughy, my husband prefers them crispy). If you want it flat, just smooth the batter out---I like mine thick :)
Then they're done :) As you can probably ascertain, I'm not the greatest of cooks, but I do love to cook, and these aren't perfect, but seldom anything that I make ever is! That's the *fun* of it, I guess :)

thank you very much for being so sweet! I just LOVE these :) My husband thinks I'm a bit nuts when I make a bunch and put them in my handbag for meals and snacks :)

could you make it without beer or substitute it for something else as my family hardly ever drink alcohol and I'm only 14

As to the substitute question, I'm experimenting with other items, such as maple syrup & honey (I know the honey one is good, I'll get back to you on the maple syrup). If you substitute about 1/2 cup of syrup or the same amount for the honey, that would probably work! I'll definitely get back to you on that one!

do you use beer so they taste like beer or because of the hops and yeast in beer (I've got that right with the hops and yeast thing right?) to make it go more like bread?

Hello :) I used the beer because it tastes more "yeasty" to me, and I LOVE bread (especially when it's rising in the oven!) I'm not much of a drinker (and can't really tolerate liquors such as scotch or whiskey or rum), and I like the smell of beer, so I decided to try it! Thanks for the question :) Tame
