How to Make Macaroni Pudding

  1. Heat 4 cups of milk in a heavy-bottomed saucepan over medium heat.
  2. Add 1 cup elbow macaroni and simmer uncovered for 6-8 minutes, stirring frequently, until al dente.
  3. In a separate bowl, beat 4 large eggs until light and frothy.
  4. Gradually add ¾ cup granulated sugar to the beaten eggs, beating until the mixture is thick, pale, and lemon-colored.
  5. Gently pour the egg mixture into the saucepan with the cooked macaroni and milk. Stir well to combine.
  6. Stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg, and ½ cup raisins (optional).
  7. Pour the mixture into a lightly buttered 2-quart baking dish.
  8. Bake in a preheated 300°F (150°C) oven for 45-50 minutes, or until a metal knife inserted into the center comes out clean. The pudding should be set but still slightly jiggly in the center.
  9. Let cool slightly before serving warm or cold. Top with a dollop of sour cream or whipped cream for an extra touch of decadence.
