Ingredients

Custardy Macaroni & Cheese

From "The Gift of Southern Cooking," by Edna Lewis and Scott Peacock. This is so custardy, it's almost like a cheese and macaroni pudding. But it's terrifically flavorful and wonderfully fluffy.

Butter for pan

1¾ cups (about 8 ounces) uncooked elbow macaroni

1¼ cups (5 ounces) extra-sharp cheddar, cut into Z\x-inch cubes

2 tablespoons plus 1 teaspoon all-purpose flour

1½ teaspoons salt, plus more for cooking water

1½ teaspoon dry mustard

¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper

¼ teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg

2/3 cup sour cream

2 eggs, lightly beaten

1/3 cup grated onion

1½ cups half and half

1½ cups heavy cream

1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce

1 2/3 cups (6 ounces) grated extra-sharp chedd

Directions

Coat a 13 by 9-inch baking dish with butter and set aside.

Cook the macaroni in a large pot of boiling salted water until just tender, about 9 minutes

. Drain well and spread in the baking dish.

Mix the cubed cheddar into the macaroni and set aside.

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Put flour, 1½ teaspoons salt, dry mustard, black pepper, cayenne and nutmeg in a large mixing bowl and whisk to blend

. Add the sour cream and beaten eggs and whisk until well-blended.

Whisk in the onion, half-and-half, cream and Worcestershire until blended, making sure the flour is well-incorporated.

Pour over the macaroni and cubed cheese and stir to blend. (It will seem very soupy.)

Sprinkle the grated cheese evenly over the surface.

Bake about 30 minutes, until the custard is set around the edges but the center is still a little loose.

Remove from oven and let stand 10 minutes to allow the custard to thicken before serving.
