Serves: 4
Ingredients
- 150g macaroni pasta
- 25g plain flour
- 25g Yorkshire Butter
- 300ml milk
- 150g grated Yorkshire Cheddar
- 8 slices white bread
- Yorkshire Butter, for spreading
Method
Prepare the macaroni cheese:
- Cook the pasta 2 minutes less than on the pack, then drain and put to one side.
- In a small saucepan, add flour and Yorkshire Butter. Cook for a few minutes until golden brown.
- Pour in the milk in stages, starting with a small amount, whisking vigorously each time.
- Once all the milk has been incorporated, cook for 5 minutes, stirring constantly.
- Add in the grated cheese and stir until it’s melted and bubbly.
- Add cooked pasta and stir it all together.
Making the toasties:
- Heat your toastie machine or frying pan.
- Butter each slice of bread on one side.
- Put a slice of bread, butter side down, on the hot plate and add a large spoonful of macaroni cheese.
- Top with another slice of bread – butter side up and close the toastie machine.
- Cook for 3 minutes then carefully open the machine - cook for a minute or 3 longer if needed, so the bread is well cooked and golden brown.
- Repeat to make as many toasties as you like - but let them rest for a few minutes before serving as the filling will be scorching hot!
