Aunty Sheila's Famous Mac & Cheese
In loving memory of Aunty Sheila. The lady who taught me everything in the kitchen and beyond
Ingredients
Directions
- 1
Cook your macaroni according to the box. Once done, drain then rinse the macaroni under cold water to prevent clumping.
- 2
Melt the butter and as soon as it is melted, add the flour. You “mustn’t brown or burn the butter”, aunty sheila says.
- 3
Then you add the flour, add it quickly and “beat it up quickly until there are no lumps”.
- 4
Start adding your milk in small amounts at a time, giving it a “good whisk” each time.
- 5
Add the grated cheese and mix until melted. Add in the cooked macaroni noodles. Season with black pepper if you wish.
- 6
That’s it… then the only thing that can go wrong is you don’t have enough
Notes
Pro tip: Aunty Sheila always recommended serving her mac and cheese with a warm, fresh slice of buttered toast.
