2 tb Unbleached flour
1/4 ts White pepper
2 ts Dry mustard

Cook the macaroni al dente according to package instructions. Drain, rinse, and drain again. Set aside.
Place 1/2 of milk and all of the flour, pepper and mustard in a jar with a tight fitting lid. Shake until smooth, and set aside.
Pour the remaining 1 1/2 c milk into a 2 quart pot and bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring constantly. Add the flour mixture and cook, still stirring, for about 1 minute, or until thickened and bubbly. Reduce the heat to low, and add 1 1/2 c of the cheese, and stir until the cheese melts.
Remove the pot from the heat, and stir in the macaroni. Coat a 2 quart casserole dish with nonstick cooking spray and spread the macaroni mixture evenly in the dish. Sprinkle the remaining cheese over the top, and bake at 350 degrees for 30-35 minutes, or until bubbly around the edges. Remove the dish from the oven and let sit for 5 minutes before serving.
