Ingredients

• 3 cups All-purpose flour
• 0.25 cup Granulated sugar
• 1 tablespoon Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 1 cup Raisins
• 12 ounces Beer (lager or ale preferred)
• 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter (melted)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan and set it aside.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt. Use a whisk to ensure the dry ingredients are evenly combined.

Step 3

Stir in the raisins, making sure they are well distributed throughout the flour mixture.

Step 4

Slowly pour the beer into the dry mixture while stirring. Mix just until combined — the batter will be sticky and lumpy, but be careful not to overmix.

Step 5

Transfer the batter to the prepared loaf pan, spreading it out evenly.

Step 6

Drizzle the melted butter over the top of the batter, creating a rich, golden crust as the bread bakes.

Step 7

Place the loaf pan in the preheated oven and bake for 50-55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Step 8

Remove the bread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.

Step 9

Serve warm or at room temperature. This bread pairs beautifully with butter, cream cheese, or as a side to hearty meals.
