1932 Bacon Rarebit (Welsh Rarebit or Welsh Rabbit) Welcome Friends! welcome back to the Old Cookbook Show - Today we're going to do a Depression Era recipe 'Bacon Rarebit' from a Canadian cookbook. This is a Canadian take of a Welsh Rarebit, or Welsh Rabbit recipe... But we just called it Cheese on Toast when I was growing up.
Diced bacon | 250 Milliliter (1 cup) | |
Bacon fat | 45 Milliliter (3 tbsp) | |
Flour | 45 Milliliter (3 tbsp) | |
Milk | 500 Milliliter (2 cups) | |
Salt | To Taste | |
Pepper | To Taste | |
Paprika | 1 Milliliter (1/4 tsp) | |
Dry mustard | 5 Milliliter (1/4 tsp) | |
Grated cheese | 250 Milliliter (1 cup) | |
Bread slices | 6 |
MAKING:
1. Fry the bacon until crisp.
2. Pull the crisp bacon out of the pan, and hopefully you’ll have 3 Tbsp fat left in the pan.
3. Stir the flour into the fat, over medium heat.
4. Slowly whisk in the milk until a smooth sauce forms.
5. Whisk in the pepper, paprika, and mustard.
6. Slowly stir in the grated cheese so it melts evenly.
SERVING:
7. Serve on toast or crackers with the bacon sprinkled on top.
