Macaroni Cheese Recipe
One of my favourite dishes growing up was my Mum’s home made macaroni cheese. When I emigrated to the USA she gave me a recipe for it, which is just divine (in my opinion!).
The following recipe serves one person. To serve more …increase the ingredients as you see fit.
INGREDIENTS
3oz Macaroni
1/2 Pint Milk
1/2oz Margarine
1/2oz Plain Flour (All-Purpose Flour in the US)
3oz Grated cheese (use a sharp cheddar)
Salt and pepper to taste
Mustard (to taste .. approx 1 tsp)
Optional: small triangles of toast, tomato, cauliflower etc …
METHOD
1. Boil macaroni in water until soft. Drain and place in bowl.
2. Melt margarine in a pan and stir in the flour with a wooden spoon until mixture bubbles. Remove from heat and stir in milk gradually, using a whisk. Return to heat stirring all the time until the sauce has boiled for about 1 minute.
3. Remove from heat and stir in macaroni, pepper, salt and mustard and two thirds of the grated cheese. Pour mixture into a dish, sprinkle remaining cheese on top and garnish with tomato (optional).
4. Place under the grill in oven until light brown.
Garnish with triangles of toast (optional)
For a variation, add cooked cauliflower to the macaroni.
