Step by Step Method
Step 1
Cook the macaroni in plenty of boiling salted water until it is tender and then drain and put to one side.
Step 2
To make the sauce, melt the butter in a medium pot and add the flour and work them both together until they look a bit sandy, about 2 minutes and then using a whisk, add the milk, working it all into a smooth mixture, stirring all the time, bring to the boil, remove from the heat and add the mustard, cayenne, seasoning and the cheeses, except for one cup.
Step 3
Stir in the macaroni and turn into an oven dish into which it just fits and then scatter over the rest of the cheeses and the breadcrumbs.
Step 4
Crisp and brown the topping either in a very hot oven or under a moderately hot grill/broiler.
