>>
>>7899893
>>7899904

I thought is was just milk, butter, cheese and noodles.

Where the hell do the corn starch and flour come in?
>>
>>7899944
Huh?
>>
>>7899944

because you need something to cause the protein strands in the cheese to unfold gracefully so that it doesn't become a clumpy snot soup.
>>
>>7899944

the flour is for thickening/stabilising the sauce, it's called a roux, very common in white sauces.

the cornstarch thickens a bit but is mostly just a stabiliser preventing the cheese from clumping.

cheese likes to split when you cook it.

Not that hard kiddo. All ya gotta do is:

>Bring water to boil in medium saucepan. Add Macaroni; cook 7 to 8 min. or until tender, stirring occasionally.
>Drain. (Do not rinse.) Return macaroni to pan.
>Add margarine, milk and Cheese Sauce Mix; mix well.

Aaaand wa laaa: Ya got yaself some nice Mac & cheese!
>>

>Cheese Sauce Mix

That's yellow cake uranium.
>>
>>7899995

Yep, that's correct.

However if you use a cheese that melts well and doesn't split then you can leave out the roux.

The roux is common because the only cheese Americans know about is cheddar*, and cheddar doesn't melt very well without splitting. Swap that for a cheese that does melt well like gruyere or gouda and the problem is solved.

* in cause you're autistic, yes that was hyperbole.

What sort of starch would be best for someone in a first world country whose government doesn't subsidise corn and it's not in every second product on the shelf?

Tapioca? Rice flour? Plain wheat flour?
>>
>>7900359

Any of those would work just fine. Or, like >>7900358 said, you can leave out the starch altogether if you choose a cheese that doesn't need it.
>>
>>7900359

Do you want something grainier like roux or smooth like cream?
>>
>>7900365
Cool, thanks
>>
>>7900369
>grainier like roux

Lol, what? Roux should never be grainy. WTF?
>>
>>7900369
Smooth ya dingus
>>
>>7900372

it's not grainy, it has a thicker, more carby texture. I don't know how to describe it properly here. Doesn't matter, I'm done helping.

Wtf is up with all these pleb food fags?
>>
>>7899879
Make a Mornay sauce with cheeses of your choice.
Add to pasta of your choice cooked al dente
then eat it

or if you want, put cheese and breadcrumbs on top of it in a dish and put it in the oven. though this makes it too dry unless you fill it with liquid
>>
>>7900550
eggs and milk?
