Best 4 Black And Tan Ingredients Recipes

CLASSIC BLACK AND TAN

Steps:

• Pour the pale ale into a pint glass. Lay a spoon upside-down over the mouth of the glass and slowly pour the Guinness over the back of the spoon. (Pouring this way slows the flow of the Guinness so that it floats atop the pale ale.) Do not stir.

BLACK AND TANS

Steps:

• For the cake: Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F and position a rack in the middle. Butter an 8-inch square baking pan.
• Pour the batter into the baking pan and smooth the top. Bake for 35 to 40 minutes, until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Cool completely on a rack.
• To assemble the black & tans: Invert the cooled cake onto a work surface and cut it into 6 equal rectangles. Cut each rectangle into squares about the size of ice cubes. Set out six Pilsner or similar glasses. Put 2 rounded scoops of ice cream into each glass. Divide the cake cubes evenly among the glasses, then add 1/2 scoop of ice cream to each glass, mounding it slightly in the center. Top with softly whipped cream to look like the frothy head on a pint of stout, allowing a drip to edge over the side. Serve immediately.
• Sift the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt onto a piece of waxed paper or into a medium bowl.
• With an electric mixer on medium speed, beat the butter and the sugar until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Add the oil, beating well. Beat in the egg, then the vanilla. On low speed, add the dry ingredients in 3 batches, alternating with the buttermilk, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients, scraping down the sides of the bowl and mixing just until the batter is smooth.

BLACK AND TAN SAUCES

Steps:

• For chocolate sauce:
• Stir water and sugar in heavy medium saucepan over medium heat until sugar dissolves. Bring to boil; 1 minute. Remove from heat. Mix in instant coffee granules. Add chocolate and whisk until melted and smooth. Stir in cream, vanilla and salt. Cool slightly. Transfer to 2-cup jars. Seal tightly. (Can be prepared 1 week ahead; refrigerate.)
• For butterscotch sauce:
• Preheat oven to 375°F. Place pecans on cookie sheet. Toast until fragrant and just beginning to brown, stirring occasionally, about 12 minutes. Cool completely.
• Stir sugar and Scotch whiskey in heavy medium saucepan over low heat until sugar dissolves. Increase heat to medium-high and bring to boil. Boil without stirring until mixture is deep amber color, brushing down sides of pan with wet pastry brush and swirling pan occasionally, about 4 minutes. Remove from heat and whisk in cream (mixture will bubble up). Return to boil, whisking constantly. Remove from heat and whisk in butter, salt and pecans. Cool sauce slightly. Transfer to 2-cup jar. Seal tightly. (Can be prepared 1 week ahead; refrigerate.)

BLACK AND TANS

Steps:

• Put oven racks in upper and lower thirds of oven and preheat oven to 350°F. Butter 2 large baking sheets.
• Whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt in a bowl. Stir together buttermilk and vanilla in a cup. Beat together butter and sugar in a large bowl with an electric mixer at medium-high until pale and fluffy, about 3 minutes, then add egg, beating until combined well. Reduce speed to low and add flour mixture and buttermilk mixture alternately in batches, beginning and ending with flour mixture, and mixing just until smooth.
• Drop rounded teaspoons of batter 1 inch apart onto baking sheets. Bake, switching position of sheets halfway through baking, until tops are puffed, edges are pale golden, and cookies spring back when touched, 6 to 8 minutes total. Transfer to a rack to cool.
• Mix peanut butter and butter together with a hand mixer. Gradually blend in the sugar and half and half. Blend until fluffy and light. Can be prepared a day or two in advance, tightly wrapped, and refrigerated. Allow to come to room temperature before using.
• Mix cocoa and butter together with a hand mixer. Gradually blend in the sugar and half and half. Blend until fluffy and light. Can be prepared a day or two in advance, tightly wrapped, and refrigerated. Allow to come to room temperature before using.
• With offset spatula, spread peanut butter frosting over half of flat side of each cookie. Starting with cookies you iced first, spread chocolate frosting over other half.
