Notes

  • This recipe does not require you to let the beer stand until it gets flat, I typically bake it with still bubbling beer, and it always turns out light and fluffy. I only make sure that it is a bit warmer than room temperature so that it does not affect the yeast growth. You primarily want to make sure that you have 8 oz of beer. If you have still bubbling beer, this typically ends up being 1 cup plus 1 Tbsp for me, if you have let it go flat, it is likely just 1 cup.
