I made this with 2 T butter, melt til bubbling, add 1/4 cup of white rice flour, whisk until bubbly keep whisking for 1 minute, slowly add 2 3/4 of hot milk and keep whisking until thick. I then add 1 t salt, 1/2 t cayenne, 1/4 t pepper, 1/8 t nutmeg then stir in 3 cups of cheese (1 aged cheddar, 2 gruyere) combine with 8 oz macaroni partially cooked. I add broken up GB bread mixed with 2 T butter and sprinkle over the top plus the 1 cup of cheese before baking on 375 for 30 mins or until bread is browning.

Okay, when it says milk - Use Whole Milk, it has more cream and fat in it to help thicken the sauce. There is no need to mix butter and corn starch together. Mix 6 table spoon of corn starch with 3 table spoon of water together to make a slurry. Add that into the milk to slowly let it thicken. I use Gruyere, Parmesan Reggiano, Cheddar, and Fontina Cheese.
