Mac and cheese

You need

• 250 g macaroni
• 30 g butter, 30 g flour
• 500 ml milk
• 200 g strong cheddar, grated (and a handful extra for the top)
• a pinch of mustard powder, salt, pepper

Do this

1. Boil the pasta in salted water 2 minutes less than the packet says. Drain.
2. In the same pot melt the butter, whisk in the flour, cook 1 minute.
3. Add the milk a little at a time, whisking, until thick and smooth.
4. Turn the heat off. Stir in the cheese until melted. Add mustard, salt, pepper.
5. Mix in the pasta. Eat now, or sprinkle cheese on top and grill for 5 minutes.

Note to self: The only dish I have shipped without a bug. Add the cheese off the heat, or it goes grainy. Grate it yourself: bagged cheese does not melt as well.
