While we're at it, there is a HUGE difference in baking POWDERS. If you REALLY want to improve the taste of your baking, use a baking powder that does NOT contain sodium aluminum sulfate. I use Rumford exclusively as it is a phosphate-based baking powder which includes calcium acid phosphate in its ingredient list. The aluminum sulfate in Clabber Girl & many others, comes off as a bitter, metalic taste to many people with discerning taste buds. The only other non-aluminum baking powder I'm aware is Magic Baking Powder. If Rumford is hard to find, make your own: 1 tsp baking soda 2 tsp cream of tartar.

Now I know what I'm going to do w/ that Easter ham bone this weekend! Here's the best beer bread recipe that is tried & true. I'm involved in a women's organization whose members have been making MANY loaves of this fabulous, tasty, easy bread, selling it each year (@ 50 cents a slice!) to raise funds for charity.

Eula's Beer Bread
Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Spray a bread pan w/ cooking spray. If it's the new non-stick pan, don't grease at all.

In a large bowl, stir together w/ a wooden spoon:
3 cups self-rising flour
1/2 c sugar
Add 1 can room temperature, not flat, beer.
Stir just until moistened & dump into the pan. Bake 1 hour 15 minutes, buttering the top after the first 45 minutes w/ butter or margarine, and then again in 15 minutes, and again when you pull it out of the oven. I use soft margarine & a paint brush. Cool 5 minutes in the pan, then turn out onto a cooling rack to cool completely.

DON'T try to make this "healthy" by cutting down on the sugar. That's the secret, the sweet/salty thing going on w/ the sugar & the beer & the butter!

This is a "quick bread" that shouldn't be overmixed. We've found the new non-stick pans will burn on the bottom when the butter melts down the sides.
