- Preheat oven to 175C
- Cook the macaroni in salted boiling water according to packet instructions. Drain and rinse
with cold water to stop the cooking process. Set aside. - Using the same pot that the pasta was cooked in, melt the butter and whisk in the flour. Cook
for a few minutes, stirring constantly. Gradually add the milk, bit by bit, whisking constantly
until you have a thick sauce with no lumps. Take off the heat and stir through the mustard
powder and salt. Stir through the cooked macaroni and the cheese and stir to coat. - Pour the cheesy macaroni into a round baking dish or cast iron pan. Melt the extra butter in a
small saucepan and stir through the breadcrumbs to coat. Season with truffle salt. Sprinkle
evenly over the top of the macaroni and bake for 35 minutes or until golden brown.
