Ever have left over beer from having friends round?
Make beer soda bread.
Handful of oats
Two handfuls of Plain flour (or thereabouts).
1 teaspoon baking powder/ soda.
pinch of salt.
About 1/4 of an eating apple sliced.
1 teaspoon of yoghurt (probably optional)
about a tablespoon of oil (rapeseed, olive, veg, whatever you have to hand)
Heat oven to 180.
Combine oats, powder, salt, (about 2/3 of) flour and apple in bowl. Chuck in oil, yoghurt and enough beer (stout's luxurious, cheap lager is sugary and delicious) to bring the dough together. Make a thick, not sticky dough-adding the rest of the flour if sticky- don't bother to knead it, make a cross in the bread almost to tray level with the back of a spoon. Whack in oven. About 25-30 mins later pull out an incredible treat. Serve with the apple and some spread (I used bacon jam on half and fake butter on the other).
(I used carlsberg just now, left from last night and it was delicious)
