MAC AND CHEESE:

- Scatter half the cooked macaroni noodles into prepared pan followed by half the cheese. Top with the remaining noodles and cheese; set aside.
- Whisk together milk, eggs, mustard powder, salt and pepper in a medium bowl. Pour mixture over noodles and cheese and bake until set, about 30 to 35 minutes.
- Remove to cooling rack to cool completely. Place in fridge to chill for two hours.
BATTER AND ASSEMBLY:
- Line a rimmed baking sheet with a wire cooling rack; set aside. Heat oven to 200°F (93°C).
- Cut mac and cheese in half and then cut each half onto eight 2x10 centimeter sticks.
- Place sticks into a shallow dish and toss with 1/4 cup flour (30 grams); set aside.
- Whisk together remaining flour, cornmeal, baking powder, salt, pepper and sugar in a large bowl. Add milk and egg and whisk to combine.
- Heat five centimeters of oil to 350°F (176°C) in a large Dutch oven or heavy bottomed saucepan over medium-high heat.
- Dip mac and cheese sticks in batter and fry in batches of two until golden, about two to four minutes, flipping halfway. Transfer to prepared rack and place in oven to keep warm while frying remaining sticks. Serve with Spicy Ketchup.
