[Sca-cooks] buttered bread crumb topping

[Stefan li Rous]

Talking about her variation on macaroni and cheese, Gwen Cat mentioned:
 > Buttered bread crumb topping optional.

I have a newbie cook question. What is the best way to create this?

1) Mix the bread crumbs and the butter in a bowl and then try to  
transfer that to the Mac and cheese?
2) Put some slices of butter down on the top of the macaroni and then  
sprinkle everything with the bread crumbs?
3) Do either of the above, but melt the butter first?
4) Something else?

Thanks,
    Stefan
