Throw macaroni into boiling salted water, cook from 20 to 30 minutes, or until tender; drain and place in layers in a buttered baking dish, each layer covered with bread crumbs and grated cheese. Over this pour a gravy made as follows: One tablespoon butter in frying pan, rub into it 1 tablespoon flour and add about 1 1/2 cups milk and cook till creamy, stirring to prevent lumping. Salt. Pour it over the macaroni and bake until browned on top.
