MILK ROLLS
Sift the flour and salt into a mixer bowl, combine the yeast and sugar, combine the milk and water and warm to around 35°C. Mix 50ml of the liquid with the yeast and leave until starting to bubble. On a low speed, with the dough hook, mix the yeast into the flour. Add the melted butter and then the remaining liquid. Mix on speed 3 for 10 minutes, scrape down the dough hook and continue to mix for a further 5 minutes. Leave the dough to prove in the bowl covered with cling film until doubled in size. Divide into 35g pieces, shape into round rolls and place in a deep mince pie tin. Cover with cling film sprayed with Trenwax, cover with a tea towel and allow to rise fully. Dust with flour and cook at 200°C for 10 min with an injection of steam at the start and after 5 min. Reduce temperature to 170°C and cook for another 5-7 minutes. Turn out onto a cooling wire and cover with a tea towel to cool.
RAREBIT MIX
Cover the shallots with boiling water, leave for 1 minute and drain in a sieve. Press dry. Combine the shallots with all the remaining ingredients and season to taste. Roll out between two sheets of silicone paper to a thickness of 2cm. Chill and then cut into discs the size of the cavity in the rolls. Re-roll the trimmings as necessary.
SPICED CIDER APPLE JELLY
In a pan combine all the ingredients except the salt and vegetable gel. Reduce to 200ml. Pass into a clean pan, whisk in the vegetable gel and bring back to the boil. Skim and allow to set in the pan. When completely cold blitz in a food processor until smooth, season and if necessary thin slightly so the gel can be applied with a squeeze bottle.
ASSEMBLY
For service slice off the top of a roll, use a metal cutter to cut down into the roll around 2cm deep. Remove the plug with a small paring knife, take a thin slice from the bottom and toast under the grill. Place a rarebit disc in the cavity and place under the grill until golden brown and bubbling. To prevent the roll from burning use a foil pudding basin with a hole cut out of the bottom the same size as the rarebit disc to cover the roll.
Plate with the salad, apple and dots of the spiced cider jelly.
