Here are three mouthwatering British recipes that can be prepared in almost no time. The Welsh Rarebit and Buck Rarebit are great as starter or cocktail snack.

Welsh Rarebit

Truly scrumptious. The cooking time should be around 10 minutes, no more. You will need for 4 servings:

2oz butter

1oz flour

¼ pint milk

salt and pepper

1tsp made-mustard

8oz grated Cheddar cheese

1tbsp beer ale or a few drops of Worcestershire sauce

4 slices bread

Prepare mixture by melting half the butter in a pan, stir in flour, cook for few minutes then gradually add milk. Bring to the boil, cook till smooth and thick, add seasoning, most of the cheese and beer. Heat steadily until cheese has melted. Toast bread, then butter and spread with the mixture and remainder of cheese. Put under hot grill until brown.

To vary:

The mixture above gives a soft creamy topping – for a firmer mixture use only four or five tablespoons of milk.

Most people like Welsh rarebit made with Cheddar, Cheshire or Lancashire cheese. A stronger flavor can be given by mixing a little Parmesan with the Cheddar. A very mild flavor is obtained by using a Dutch cheese.

If you are very fond of Welsh rarebit you can make up the mixture as above in larger quantities, store in covered container in the refrigerator for a week or so, using as wished.

Buck Rarebit

Ingredients:

As Welsh rarebit plus 4 poached eggs

Prepare the rarebit mixture. Spread on hot buttered toast. Poach the eggs. Put Welsh rarebit under hot grill until brown, then top with the poached eggs and serve.
