Cool so best to use Self Raising flour or Potato Flour?

bear in mind that self raising flour has raising agents in it, so it may have some taste. Use a tasty cheese for extra flavour.

i used self raising flour once by mistake to thicken a stew and it bubbled and frothed, so wuld not use in a cheese sauce.

From google ; Starch (such as all-purpose flour, cornstarch, or potato flour) will keep the cheese from curdling. If using all-purpose flour, add it to the mixture before the cheese; it needs to be cooked for a few minutes to remove the starchy taste. So yep use potato flour.

Many thanks! I am now so going to enjoy this Mac N' Cheese with the day as it has been here it will be really nice treat. My brother has said out right lies infront of me about me to his wife and I said "it does not pay to not tell the truth" and he said to his wife "oh but you would agree with all of this its like the other stuff I said last week" I am just so about to give up on him for life at this point. He has blocked me from facebook and has posted messages etc about me. so I am now off to enjoy making this dish thinking of all these lovely truthful people.

Yep potato flour. We had cauliflower cheese the other night and it was so tasty. Had not made it in quite some time.
