Mac n' cheese fritters

Ingredients

½ cup	Dry macaroni pasta (Main)
25 g	Butter
1 small	Onion, diced
½ cup	Milk
1 cup	Grated tasty cheese (Main)
2	Eggs, beaten
2 Tbsp	Self raising flour
3 Tbsp	Canola oil, for frying

Directions

1. Cook the macaroni in a large saucepan of salted water until tender. Drain well.
2. Meanwhile, melt the butter in a medium saucepan. Sauté the onion on low heat until softened, about 3 minutes. Whisk in the milk, cheese, eggs and flour. Add the macaroni. Stir until thickened then remove from the heat.
3. Heat a non-stick frying pan on medium. Add a little oil. Add tablespoons of the mixture leaving about 2cm between each fritter. Fry until crisp and golden. Turn over and cook the other side. They are ready to turn when the mixture is almost set on top and when gently nudged, will slide easily in the pan.
4. Great served with salad.
