Macaroni and Cheese

Description:
Mungkin karena keseringan lihat emaknya berkutat di dapur membuat Sekar anak semata wayangku berpikir memasak itu gampang. Nah buktinya sekarang setiap diajak ke perpus selalu saja pulangnya nenteng satu buku memasak. Untungnya yang diambil buku memasak untuk anak-anak. Katanya, "I still learn how to cook, mama. I'm not an expert yet, so I borrow kid's cookbook." he..he..he.. lucunya anakku. Yaah... palingg nggak kelak kalau dia dewasa bisa survive jika hidup sendiri dimanapun dia tinggal.
Resep macaroni cheese ini aku ambil dari buku yg Sekar pinjam minggu lalu. Dia yang banyak ambil peran memasak kali ini, dari mulai membaca resep, melihat gambar2 petunjuk, menimbang sampai mengaduk-aduk. Resep yang aku tulis pakai bhs Inggris yang aku salin dari buku aslinya atas permintaan Sekar krn dia belum bisa baca kalau ditulis dalam bhs Indonesia. Bahasa Inggrisnya baku banget, detail banget khusus untuk anak-anak.

Ingredients:
1 cup dried macaroni

For cheese sauce :
4 tablespoon butter
4 tablespoon flour
2 2/3 cup milk
6oz. grated cheddar cheese
salt and pepper

For topping :
1oz. grated cheddar cheese

Directions:
1. Preheat your oven 350F. Put your macaroni into boiling water. Drain it when it's cook.
2. To make the sauce, melt the butter in a pan over a low heat. Stir in the flour with a wooden spoon and cook it for one minute.
3. Take the pan off the heat and add a little milk. Stir it really well. Continue stirring in the rest of the milk, a little at the time.
4. Return the pan to the heat and start to bring it to a boil, strring all the time. The sauce will stick if you don't stir it.
5. The sauce will begin to thicken. let the sauce bubble for a minute then turn off the heat. Stir in the cheese.
6. Pour the sauce over the cooked macaroni. Stir it really well so that the sauce coats all of the pieces of macaroni.
7. Dip a paper towel into some butter and rub it inside an ovenproof dish to grease it. Pour in the cheesy macaroni.
8. Springkle on grated cheese for topping. Put the dish into the oven for about 25 minutes, until top is golden brown.
