Ingredients Method

Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
  • 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
  • 1 medium jalapeño, seeded and finely chopped
  • 12 ounces beer (lager or pale ale), at room temperature
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted, divided
  • 1 large egg, lightly beaten

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F. Grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan with 1 tablespoon of the melted butter.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar. Stir in the cheddar and jalapeño until coated.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the beer, egg, and remaining 3 tablespoons melted butter.
  4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir with a spatula until just combined—do not overmix; the batter will be thick and slightly lumpy.
  5. Transfer the batter to the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top.
  6. Bake for 45–50 minutes, until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean and the top is golden brown.
  7. Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then turn out onto a wire rack to cool slightly before slicing. Serve warm.
