I don't know about you all, but somehow, I always have a little bit of extra beer left in my fridge that I will never drink. Whether its the fruity beers from a seasonal pack, expired beer, or the leftovers of a friend's six-pack, I seem to always have one or two beers I will never drink. Here are two cheap recipes to use up the beer. Anyone know any others?
Beer Bread Rolls
3 cups self-rising flour
2 tablespoons sugar
1 bottle beer (best with darker beers, no sweet beers!)
2-3 tablespoons butter/margerine, melted
In a bowl mix the flour, sugar, and beer.
Grease a muffin tin (12-piece regular) or bread pan.
Put batter into tin/pan. If using a muffin tin, divide the batter evenly. The best way is to use a wooden spoon to scoop it and then the back of a greased metal spoon to get it off.
Cook for 45 minutes at 350 degrees (or until golden brown.
Beer Pancakes
3 cups flour
3 tsp baking powder
1 tsp salt
1 T sugar
2 eggs, separated
1 cup beer (use sweet beer if you have it)
1 1/2 cups milk
1/3 cup butter
Sift together the flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar.
In a separate bowl, beat the egg yolks with a fork. Stir in the beer, milk, and butter. Combine with dry ingredients & beat until smooth.
Beat the remaining egg whites until stiff & fold into batter.
Cook like normal pancakes.

I used to work at Lum's. Does anyone remember that restaurant? They used to make the best hot dogs steamed in beer. You might want to try that.
