Step 1

Take 50g of cold mac and roll into a ball. Mix cayenne pepper through the breadcrumbs. Roll each ball in beaten egg then breadcrumbs until fully coated.

Put oil in a heavy bottom frying pan and heat to 190C. Gently lower the balls into the hot oil. Fry until golden brown. Remove from the pan and drain on kitchen towel.
