The Whip Taverns Welsh Rarebit Recipes

Steps:

• In a small saucepan, melt butter over medium heat then whisk in the flour until the mixture forms a thick, pale roux; remove from heat and set aside.
• Use a 2 quart saucepan and bring the ale to a simmer; whisk in the roux, a little at a time, until mixture is the consistency of peanut butter (you may not use all of the roux).
• Whisk in the heavy cream, Worcestershire sauce, and the dry mustard; return to a simmer and fold in the cheddar and Stilton cheeses.
• Continue cooking until the mixture is smooth; remove from heat.
• Transfer mixture to a shallow, oven-proof dish or ramekins and place under broiler to lightly brown the top.
• Serve with the toasted baguette slices (crostini).

Steps:

• Chopped fresh chives, for sprinkling
• Put a skillet over low heat and add 2 tablespoons of the butter. Toast the bread in the skillet until the underside is golden brown, a couple of minutes. Turn the bread over, toast the other side, then remove from the skillet and keep warm.
• To make the sauce, melt the remaining 2 tablespoons butter in a saucepan over low heat. Sprinkle in the flour and whisk together until combined. Cook over low heat, stirring continuously, until the taste of the flour is cooked out, about 2 minutes.
• Pour in the beer and milk, whisking constantly to avoid lumps, and cook for an additional minute to thicken. Add the mustard, paprika, cayenne and Worcestershire sauce, then whisk some more. Add the cheese, whisking slowly, and cook until smooth, melted and very hot, a couple of minutes. Remove from the heat and whisk in the egg yolk.
• Lay a piece of toast on each plate, spoon the hot sauce over the toast and sprinkle with chopped chives.

Steps:

• Simmer 8 ounces of the beer.
• Stir in dissolved cornstarch solution and return to a simmer.
• Reduce heat to low.
• Add butter and cheese and stir until smooth.
• Add all remaining ingredients.
• Place in ovenproof serving dish.
• Brown quickly under broiler and serve immediately over thick toast with broiled tomato wedges.
• Note: Any cheese mixture that is left can be refrigerated and used as an excellent spread for crackers or toast.

Steps:

• Melt the butter in a saucepan over low heat; blend in the flour, salt, pepper, mustard, Worcestershire sauce, and hot pepper sauce; continue cooking and stirring until the mixture is smooth and bubbly, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat; gradually stir in the milk; return to heat and stir continually until the mixture comes to a boil. Slowly pour in the beer; cook 1 minute more while still stirring. Melt the Cheddar cheese into the mixture in small portions until completely incorporated. Remove from heat.

Steps:

• In a small saucepan gently warm the ale, set aside. Take another small saucepan and over a medium heat melt the butter until it begins to foam, tip in the flour and stir everything together, cooking for 1 min. Whisk in the warm ale in several additions to create a thick sauce then whisk through the cheese to create a thick paste. Stir the mustard, Worcestershire and chives through the sauce.
• Heat a grill to its highest setting. Place the slices of bread on a flat baking sheet and grill on one side until golden brown. Flip the bread over and spread each one with the cheese mixture. Place back under the grill and cook for a further 1-2 mins or until golden brown and bubbling, serve immediately.
