How To Make welsh rarebit

  • Step 1
    Put the cheese, butter, Worcestershire sauce, mustard, flour and pepper into a saucepan.
  • Step 2
    Mix well and then add the beer, Guiness or milk to moisten. Do not make it too wet!!
  • Step 3
    Stir over a gentle heat until all is melted, and when it is a thickish paste, stop stirring, and swivel it around the saucepan, which it will do quite easily.
  • Step 4
    Leave to cool a little, and meanwhile toast the bread on one side only.
  • Step 5
    Spread the rarebit over the untoasted side and brown under a hot grill.
  • Step 6
    This mixture can be made and kept in the refrigerator for several days if required. Sweet white wine can be used instead of beer and gives a good flavour.
