WELSH RAREBIT

This recipe is just classic and one that works perfectly with the cooling autumn weather.  Sometimes you just want something cheesy and comforting and this ticks all the boxes.

Serves 4

Ingredients

25g butter

20 g flour

75 ml stout

200g tasty cheddar

1-½ tsp english mustard powder

2 tsp worcestershire sauce

4 Thick slices good quality bread (sourdough)

Pinch salt and cracked black pepper

Method

Preheat the grill of your oven to high.

Melt the butter in a small pot over medium heat.  Add the flour and stir together well. Cook out for a minute or two.

Slowly whisk in the stout until there are no lumps and you have a glossy sauce.

Add the cheese stirring until it is well combined and melted into the sauce.

Add the mustard and worcestershire sauce and season to taste.

Toast the bread under the grill and then spread a thick layer of the cheesy mixture, making sure you coat all of the toast.

Place under the grill until the cheese bubbles and turns a delicious golden colour.

Remove from the oven and serve immediately.
