Equipment
- Pot
- Frying Pan
- bowls
- Shot glass
Ingredients
- 5 oz elbow macaroni cooked
- 1 1/3 cups milk
- 2 tbsp butter
- 3/4 cup shredded cheddar
- salt & pepper to taste
- 1 tbsp sliced jalapeños
- 1 egg
- flour for breading
- whisked eggs for breading
- bread crumbs for breading
- cooking oil for frying
Instructions
- Heat the cooked elbow macaroni, milk, butter, and shredded cheddar cheese in a large pot on the stove. Bring the sauce to a boil and let everything cook for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, then season the mac & cheese with salt & pepper. Transfer the mac & cheese to the refrigerator and let it cool completely. Once the mac & cheese has cooled, fold in the sliced jalapeños and egg.
- Place a tall shot glass in the center of a 4-inch glass bowl, then spoon the spicy mac & cheese into the glass bowl, making a ring around the tall shot glass that's about 1 inch high. Transfer the glass bowl to the freezer and freeze for 1 hour.
- Fill separate bowls with whisked egg, flour, and bread crumbs for the breading station and heat a pot filled with cooking oil to 300°F. Remove the spicy mac & cheese donut from the freezer, cover it in flour, dredge it in egg wash, and coat it in bread crumbs.
- Fry the spicy mac & cheese donut in hot cooking oil until golden brown.
