Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1 teaspoon corn-starch
- ½ cup thin cream
- ½ lb. soft mild cheese cut in small pieces
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon mustard
- Few grains cayenne
- Toast or zephyrettes
Directions
1
Melt butter, add corn-starch, and stir until well mixed, then add cream gradually, while stirring constantly, and cook two minutes. Add cheese, and stir until cheese is melted. Season, and serve on zephyrettes or bread toasted on one side, rarebit being poured over untoasted side. Much of the success of a rarebit depends upon the quality of the cheese. A rarebit should be smooth and of a creamy consistency, never stringy.
