Heston’S Ultimate Cheeseburgers

• 225g Davidstow Cornish Cheddar No. 5, grated
• 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
• 1/2 tsp English mustard
• 25g cornflour
• 1/2 tsp dried yeast
• 1 tsp Marmite
• 125ml Duchy Originals From Waitrose Organic India Pale Ale
• 50g tomato ketchup
• 75g half-fat mayonnaise
• 2 tsp French's Classic Yellow Mustard
• 4 Burgers
• 1 tbsp olive oil
• 4 gherkins, halved lengthways
• 4 Seeded Burger Buns, halved and toasted
• 2 vine tomatoes, sliced
• 1 small onion, thinly sliced
• 2 Little Gem lettuce hearts, broken into leaves

1. To make the cheese slices, line a 2cm-deep, 20x30cm baking tin with baking parchment. Mix the cheese, Worcestershire sauce, English mustard, cornflour, yeast and Marmite. Place in the fridge for 2 hours.
2. Pour the ale into a pan, set over a medium-high heat and bring to a simmer. Slowly add the cheese mixture, a handful at a time, stirring until all of the cheese has been incorporated. Allow the mixture to come to a boil and continue to whisk until smooth. Pour into the prepared tin and leave to cool to room temperature.
3. Once cool, cut into 6 squares. Cover with clingfilm and chill.
4. To make the sauce, place the ketchup, mayonnaise and yellow mustard in a bowl and mix together thoroughly. Set aside.
5. Rub each burger with a little oil and cook them on the barbecue or in a very hot pan, flipping every 15-20 seconds until cooked through. Immediately after the last flip, place a cheese slice on top of each burger and allow to melt for the final 15 seconds.
6. Place the gherkins, cut-side down, on the barbecue for about 90 seconds or until well charred.
7. To serve, place a burger topped with melted cheese on the bottom half of each bun. Add slices of tomato and onions, followed by lettuce leaves, 2 gherkin halves and a little sauce. Cover with the top half of the bun. Great served with a glass of the remaining ale.
