6 servings
- 2 tbsp unsalted butter
Chef's tipUse a stick or block-style dairy-free butter - not a soft tub spread - and swap one-for-one. - 2 tbsp all-purpose flour
- ¾ cup lager beer, at room temperature
Ingredient noteSome brands use animal-derived fining agents like gelatin during production. Look for bottles labeled vegan or check a resource like Barnivore.com.
- ½ cup whole milk
Chef's tipUse an unsweetened variety so it won't add sweetness, especially in savory dishes. - 8 oz sharp cheddar cheese, freshly grated
Chef's tipShred it and warm it gently; dairy-free cheddar melts best baked into a dish. - 1 tsp dijon mustard
- 1 tsp worcestershire sauce
- ½ tsp garlic powder
- ¼ tsp smoked paprika
- ¼ tsp cayenne pepper (optional)
- salt and pepper, to taste
For serving
- pretzels, tortilla chips, or sliced baguette, for serving (optional)
Instructions
- 1
Grate the cheddar on the large holes of a box grater (or pulse in a food processor) and set aside at room temperature — cold cheese added to a hot sauce can seize and turn grainy.
- 2
Melt the butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat until foamy. Add the flour and whisk constantly for about 1 minute, until the mixture smells faintly nutty and turns a pale golden color.
