  2. 2 Combine butter, beer, salt, and sugar in a saucepan over medium-high heat. Let butter melt and bring to a simmer.
  3. 3 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.
  4. 4 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.
  5. 5 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.
  6. 6 Add ¾ cup Cheddar cheese and cayenne and stir until incorporated.

  5. 5 Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center of a cake comes out clean, about 30 minutes. Let cakes cool in the pans for 5 minutes before inverting them onto wire racks to cool completely.
  6. 6 To make the frosting: Mix confectioners' sugar, butter, and Irish cream liqueur together in a medium bowl until smooth and spreadable. Add more sugar or liqueur to reach desired consistency. Spread 1/2 of the frosting on top of each cooled cake layer.
  7. 7 Place chopped chocolate into a heat-proof bowl. Bring cream to almost boiling in a small saucepan over medium-high heat; pour over chocolate. Add butter and stir until chocolate is melted and mixture is very smooth. Allow to cool until pourable but not thin or overly runny, 10 to 15 minutes.
  8. 8 Stack a cake gently on the other, frosting sides facing up. Carefully drizzle chocolate mixture over the top, allowing decorative drips to run down the sides.

Instructions

  1. 1 Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add beef and brown on all sides, about 10 minutes; set aside. Heat remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil; add bacon and cook just until it begins to brown. Stir in onion, carrot, mushrooms, garlic, and sugar; cook and stir until vegetables are soft and browned, 10 to 15 more minutes.
  2. 2 Stir in flour until smoothly incorporated, and gradually mix in Guinness and beef stock. Mix in thyme, bay leaves, and reserved cooked beef. Cover, and bring mixture to a boil; reduce heat to a simmer until beef is tender, about 1 hour and 15 minutes; stir occasionally. Remove the cover, turn the heat up to medium, and let stew boil until slightly thickened, about 15 more minutes. Mix cornstarch with water, and stir into the stew; let simmer for 30 more minutes to blend flavors. Remove from heat; discard bay leaves.
  3. 3 Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  4. 4 Spread the filling into a 9-inch pie dish; trim the puff pastry into a 10-inch circle, and place on top of the filling. Pinch and crimp the edges of the pastry with a fork, sealing it to the dish; cut 2 steam vents into the pastry with a sharp knife. Brush the top of the pie with beaten egg.
  5. 5 Bake in the preheated oven until the crust is golden brown, 30 to 40 minutes.

Instructions

  1. 1 Stir potatoes, sour cream, cream cheese, 1 tablespoon butter, egg yolk, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper together in a bowl until smooth.
  2. 2 Heat olive oil in a cast iron skillet or nonstick pan over medium-high heat. Add ground lamb, reduce heat to medium, and cook, stirring frequently, until browned and crumbly, 4 to 5 minutes. Pour off excess grease and season lamb with salt and black pepper to taste.
  3. 3 Stir tomatoes with juice, onion, and carrot into ground lamb; simmer until vegetables are tender, 5 to 10 minutes. Add peas, reduce heat to low, and cook, stirring frequently, until peas are warmed, 2 to 3 minutes.
  4. 4 Heat beer in a saucepan over medium heat; add beef bouillon. Cook and stir beer mixture until bouillon is dissolved, about 5 minutes.
  5. 5 Heat remaining 1 tablespoon butter in a separate pan over medium-low heat until sizzling. Whisk flour into butter until thick and paste-like, about 1 minute. Stir beer mixture and Worcestershire sauce into flour mixture until gravy is smooth and thickened, 2 to 3 minutes. Stir gravy into lamb mixture and simmer until mixture is thickened, at least 5 minutes.
  6. 6 Set oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source and preheat the oven's broiler. Grease a 9x12-inch baking dish.
  7. 7 Pour lamb mixture into the prepared baking dish. Carefully spoon mashed potatoes over lamb mixture, covering like a crust. Sprinkle Cheddar cheese, parsley, and paprika over mashed potatoes.
  8. 8 Broil in the preheated oven until crust is browned and cheese is melted, 4 to 5 minutes. Cool for about 5 minutes before serving.
