Ingredients
- 1 package kraft macaroni and cheese
- oil, for deep-frying
- 1/4 cup milk
- 1 cup milk
- 1 cup sourdough flatbread, such as wasa sourdough flatbread, processed
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 egg, beaten
- 1/2 teaspoon granulated garlic
- 3 tablespoon butter
Directions
- Bring a medium-sized saucepan filled with salted water and the macaroni pasta to a boil. Cook according to the package instructions, about 8 minutes. Drain the pasta and add back to the saucepan. Add the butter, milk, and cheese packet. Stir well to fully incorporate.
- Line an 8-by-8-inch baking pan with parchment paper and pour the prepared macaroni into it, pressing down evenly. Cover and place in the freezer for 2 hours or more, until needed.
- Combine the egg and milk in a shallow dipping bowl. In a separate plate or large shallow bowl, combine the flatbread crumbs, salt, and garlic.
- Heat the oil to about 350 and 375 degrees.
- Remove the frozen macaroni from parchment and cut into small squares or triangles. Dip each into egg wash and then coat with crumbs. Fry 5-6 triangles in the hot oil until both sides are golden brown. Remove from the oil onto paper towels. Repeat until all of the macaroni has been used. Serve and enjoy!
