You'll need
- 50 g cubed butter
- 125ml of your favourite beer
- 75 g Plain flour
- 2 eggs beaten
- 1 tsp salt
- 40g grated cheddar cheese
- 40g cubed cheddar cheese
Method
Preheat the oven at 180 degrees.
Put the butter and beer in a saucepan. Bring them just to the boil. Remove the pan from the heat.
Beer and Butter 
Add flour and salt Add the flour and the salt and beat. When the dough is smooth, return the pan to the heat until it is dry, forms a ball and pulls away from the side of the pan.
Then place the dough in a glass bowl. Add the beaten eggs, one at the time, and beat well after each addition. It is important that the eggs do not get cooked.
Add eggs 
Fold in cheese Continue beating until paste is thick and shiny. Then fold in the grated cheese and once this is done, fold in the cubed cheese.
Place small mounds of the dough on a baking sheet, leaving enough space in between each ball to allow them to expand.
Ready for baking 
Bake at 180 degrees for 20 minutes or until golden. Then, turn out onto a rack and allow to cool.
Serve with a glass of your favourite icy cold beer
