Instructions
- 1
Boil the macaroni in well-salted water for 2 minutes less than the packet says, then drain.
- 2
Melt 40 g of the butter in a pot, whisk in the flour and cook the roux for 2 minutes, stirring constantly — it should smell nutty, not brown.
- 3
Whisk in the milk in small additions, letting each blend in; simmer gently until the béchamel coats the back of a spoon, about 5 minutes.
