Ingredients
Scale

- 1/2 cup cold unsalted butter, cubed
- 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
- 1/4 cup Irish beer (stout or lager)
- 1 egg (for egg wash)
- 1 tsp mustard powder
Instructions
- Prepare the Dough: In a bowl, mix the all-purpose flour and cold butter until crumbly. Gradually add ice water until a dough forms.
- Chill: Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate for about 30 minutes to enhance flakiness.
- Make the Filling: Combine shredded cheddar cheese, mustard powder, and Irish beer in a bowl; mix well.
- Roll Out: On a floured surface, roll out the chilled dough to a thin sheet and cut into 3-inch squares.
- Fill and Fold: Place a spoonful of filling in each square's center. Fold diagonally to create triangles and seal edges with a fork.
- Bake: Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Place puffs on parchment-lined baking sheets, brush with egg wash, and bake for 15-20 minutes until golden brown.
