IRISH BEER CHEESE PUFFS
While this is by no means an authentic Irish recipe, I do use Irish beer, Irish butter, and sharp Irish Cheddar (along with a French technique!) to make these easy, cheesy puffs that are perfect for entertaining. Delicious to eat alone or with this spring onion and mascarpone spread.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with a silicone liner (such as Silpat®).
- Combine butter, beer, salt, and sugar in a saucepan over medium-high heat. Let butter melt and bring to a simmer. Add flour all at once and stir with a wooden spoon until it all comes together, about 30 seconds. Continue to cook and stir until the dough dries out a bit and starts sticking to the bottom of the pan, another minute or so. Turn off the heat and continue stirring for another 1 to 2 minutes, scraping as much off the bottom of the pan as you can.
- Transfer dough into a bowl. Add one egg and whisk it into a bit of the hot dough. Keep whisking in more dough until incorporated. Repeat with remaining egg, cleaning out the whisk as needed, until well combined and dough is sticky.
- Add ¾ cup Cheddar cheese and cayenne and stir until incorporated.
- Scoop 12 rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheet. Press a little Cheddar on the tops and sides of each puff.
- Bake in the center of the preheated oven until nicely puffed and beautifully browned, about 25 minutes. Turn off the oven and crack the door; let cheese puffs cool, undisturbed, for 30 minutes.
- Meanwhile, make the spread: Heat olive oil in a pan over medium heat. Add leek and ½ teaspoon salt; cook and stir until just barely tender, 7 to 10 minutes, adding a splash of water every few minutes to prevent browning.
- Stir in green onions and sauté briefly for 1 to 2 minutes. Transfer leek-onion mixture to a bowl and let cool for 5 to 10 minutes.
- Add lemon juice and mascarpone cheese and mix until well combined. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Refrigerate until cheese puffs have finished cooling.
- Serve cheese puffs with spread.

WHITE CHEDDAR PUFFS WITH GREEN ONIONS
These were wonderful, even though I made them much larger than the recipe suggests. They have the texture of those wonderful biscuits from Red Lobster. I wouldn't bake these ahead of time - by the next day they were kind of soggy. Also, definately use a stand mixture if you have one. I used a hand mixer and the dough was almost too stiff to handle.

Tips:
- Use freshly grated white cheddar cheese for the best flavor and texture.
- Be sure to use cold butter for the pastry. This will help to keep the dough flaky.
- Work the dough quickly and do not over-mix. Over-mixing will make the dough tough.
- Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before rolling out. This will make it easier to work with.
- Roll out the dough to a thickness of about 1/8 inch.
- Use a sharp knife to cut out the dough circles.
- Bake the puffs at a high temperature for a short amount of time. This will help to create a crispy exterior and a soft interior.
- Serve the puffs warm with your favorite dipping sauce.
