Beer Bread Mix

This is one of our favorite recipes and is perfect for gift giving. Easy to make and versatile, Beer Bread does not require rising time and, with a few added ingredients, the flavor of this bread changes. Just add a can of beer - hence the name - to the mixture and it is all set to go. Beer adds a nice yeasty flavor but unflavored seltzer can be substituted. Include a bottle of beer or seltzer along with the Beer Bread Mix, which can be packaged in an airtight container or bag.
3 cups self-rising flour
3 tablespoons sugar
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ingredients. Whisk together until the sugar is distributed in the flour. Place the mix in an airtight jar or plastic. bag.
