BLACK AND TANS
We are happy to announce that Jeanne Brophy has won our December 2005 "Cook the Cover" contest with her delicious variation on our [Mini Black-and-White Cookies](/recipes/food/views/233293) . Jeanne Brophy explains her variation: My variation is in the frosting. I'm not super crazy about the traditional approach. So thinking that this cookie is really a petite cake in disguise I developed a chocolate (Black) and peanut butter (Tan) buttercream frosting. Dee-licious!

Steps:
- Put oven racks in upper and lower thirds of oven and preheat oven to 350°F. Butter 2 large baking sheets.
- Whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt in a bowl. Stir together buttermilk and vanilla in a cup. Beat together butter and sugar in a large bowl with an electric mixer at medium-high until pale and fluffy, about 3 minutes, then add egg, beating until combined well. Reduce speed to low and add flour mixture and buttermilk mixture alternately in batches, beginning and ending with flour mixture, and mixing just until smooth.
- Drop rounded teaspoons of batter 1 inch apart onto baking sheets. Bake, switching position of sheets halfway through baking, until tops are puffed, edges are pale golden, and cookies spring back when touched, 6 to 8 minutes total. Transfer to a rack to cool.
- Mix peanut butter and butter together with a hand mixer. Gradually blend in the sugar and half and half. Blend until fluffy and light. Can be prepared a day or two in advance, tightly wrapped, and refrigerated. Allow to come to room temperature before using.
- Mix cocoa and butter together with a hand mixer. Gradually blend in the sugar and half and half. Blend until fluffy and light. Can be prepared a day or two in advance, tightly wrapped, and refrigerated. Allow to come to room temperature before using.
- With offset spatula, spread peanut butter frosting over half of flat side of each cookie. Starting with cookies you iced first, spread chocolate frosting over other half.
BLACK AND TANS
In their quest to achieve this drink's signature demarcation between stout and ale, some beer fanatics invest in a special Black and Tan spoon that can hook over the side of the glass. An inexpensive spoon bent at a 90-degree angle will work just as well.

CLASSIC BLACK AND TAN
Steps:
- Pour the pale ale into a pint glass. Lay a spoon upside-down over the mouth of the glass and slowly pour the Guinness over the back of the spoon. (Pouring this way slows the flow of the Guinness so that it floats atop the pale ale.) Do not stir.
BLACK AND TANS
The original Black & Tan is a layered drink of pale ale and dark beer served in British pubs. My Black & Tan looks like the drink but veers off in a sweet direction, alternating chunks of chocolate cake and scoops of ice cream in a Pilsner glass and topping it with whipped cream, to resemble beer foam. If you don't have time to start from scratch, you can use store-bought chocolate cake and ice cream, and your guests will still sit up and take notice when they see this dessert coming to the table.

Steps:
- For the cake: Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F and position a rack in the middle. Butter an 8-inch square baking pan.
- Pour the batter into the baking pan and smooth the top. Bake for 35 to 40 minutes, until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Cool completely on a rack.
- To assemble the black & tans: Invert the cooled cake onto a work surface and cut it into 6 equal rectangles. Cut each rectangle into squares about the size of ice cubes. Set out six Pilsner or similar glasses. Put 2 rounded scoops of ice cream into each glass. Divide the cake cubes evenly among the glasses, then add 1/2 scoop of ice cream to each glass, mounding it slightly in the center. Top with softly whipped cream to look like the frothy head on a pint of stout, allowing a drip to edge over the side. Serve immediately.
- Sift the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt onto a piece of waxed paper or into a medium bowl.
- With an electric mixer on medium speed, beat the butter and the sugar until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Add the oil, beating well. Beat in the egg, then the vanilla. On low speed, add the dry ingredients in 3 batches, alternating with the buttermilk, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients, scraping down the sides of the bowl and mixing just until the batter is smooth.
SPARKLING BLACK AND TAN
Steps:

Tips:
- Choose high-quality ingredients: Use fresh, ripe fruits and vegetables, and high-quality dairy products and spices. This will make a big difference in the overall flavor of your Black and Tan.
- Chill your ingredients: Chilling your ingredients before you make your Black and Tan will help to create a smooth, refreshing drink.
- Use a good quality stout: The stout is the base of your Black and Tan, so it's important to use a good quality one. Look for a stout that is dark and creamy, with a rich flavor.
- Pour your ingredients slowly and carefully: This will help to create a smooth, even layer of stout and ale.
- Garnish with a lemon twist: A lemon twist adds a bright, citrusy flavor to your Black and Tan.
