- (Be careful not to overheat the pot at this stage by removing from the cooker).Off the heat,stir in the flour.Cook this mixture gently under the minimum heat setting for 3-4minutes.Remove the pot from the hob if it gets too hot(all you're doing here is releasing the gluten from the flour).
- Take the pot off the hob and gently work in the milk a little at a time to make a smooth cream.Gradually work in all the milk,stirring continuously(wooden spoon or balloon whisk.
- Return to hob and turned up full,stir continuously until sauce begins to boil.Reduce heat,add mustard powder and grated cheese and stir till cheese melts and a smooth sauce is made.
- Add macaroni to the pot and stir well in.Pour this into a gratin dish and sprinkle over with the grated cheese/breadcrumb mix.
- Now place the dish under a pre-heated grill(full power),and grill until golden brown.
