Instructions
Step 1
Cook the macaroni in a large saucepan of boiling salted water for 8–10 minutes. Drain well and set aside.
Step 2
Melt the butter over a medium heat in a saucepan slightly larger than that used for the macaroni. Add the flour and stir to form a roux, cooking for a few minutes.
Step 3
Gradually whisk in the milk, a little at a time. Cook for 10–15 minutes to a thickened and smooth sauce.
Step 4
Meanwhile, preheat the grill to hot.
Step 5
Remove the sauce from the hob, add 175g/6oz of the cheese and stir until it is well combined and melted.
Step 6
Add the macaroni to the sauce and mix well. Transfer to a deep suitably-sized ovenproof dish.
Step 7
Sprinkle over the remaining Cheddar and place the dish under the hot grill. Cook until the cheese is browned and bubbling. Serve straightaway
