| This snack is very tasty - and much better than 'ordinary' cheese on toast. If you add a poached egg to the final result, it then becomes 'Buck Rarebit'... BTW, the rarebit is often written 'rabbit' - maybe that's the reason for the use of the word 'buck' in the more exotic version?! WELSH RAREBIT 8 oz grated strong cheddar cheese 4 tablespns stout or beer (I use whatever is in the house!) The amount may need to be increased slightly, if the resulting rarebit is to thick. 2 oz butter 1 teaspn English mustard powder 1.5 tbsp plain flour salt and pepper, to taste Thick cut bread from an uncut loaf, ready to toast (I use a double boiler to make this, but a friend just chucks it all in a saucepan together and it tastes very similar!) Make a roux of the butter and flour. Season to your taste. Add liquid, cheese and mustard and mix well, until cheese has fully melted and mixture has become a thick sauce. Toast one side of the bread. Spread a generous amount of the mixture on the untoasted side and then put under a very hot grill until bubbling and golden! |
