Emma's mac'n'cheese
- 6 tbsp butter/margarine
- 6 tbsp regular flour
- 800 ml milk
- 1000 grams macaroni
- 1 Roughly 200-300g of grated cheese. I used gouda
- 2 packs of melting cheese. I use Kraft singles with cheddar. There are 10 slices/pack.
- 1 Salt
- 1 Peppar
- 1 A dash of turmeric for colour (optional)
- Melt your butter/margarine in a saucepan.
- Once it has melted, take it off the heat and add your flour.
- Whisk it gently into a kind of thickening paste.
- It should NOT be like a dough.
- If it is, add some more butter or margarine until you have a smooth and sticky paste.
- Add the milk, and put your saucepan back onto the heat.
- Whisk continually or it will burn.
- Do this until it thickens.
- Lower the heat significantly and add your melting cheese.
- If you add it all at once, it might be difficult to stir properly, so add a bit at a time.
- Once you have added all your melting cheese, add the grated cheese and stir until you have a smooth (and cheesy!)
- sauce.
- Boil your macaroni according to the instruction on the box.
- Season your sauce with salt and peppar, and some turmeric if you want for colour.
- Drain your cooked macaroni, and then add it to your cheese sauce.
- Once it is stirred in completely, serve immediately.
