Add macaroni to large pan with sufficient water to cover (approximately 4 cups).
Add salt and bring to boil until tender (approximately 25 -30 minutes).
Meanwhile, beat eggs and sugar together, then add vanilla and nutmeg.
Mix well and set aside.
In a separate medium sauce pan, heat evaporated milk plus 1 cup of water and butter to almost a boiling point.
Remove from heat and add to sugar mixture.
Drain cooked macaroni.
Add macaroni and raisins to the milk mixture and stir well. (This mixture will have quite a bit of liquid, but this will form a nice custard textured pudding once baked.)
Grease a large baking dish with butter or margarine, add the macaroni mixture and sprinkle with additional nutmeg.
Bake at 350° F for 1 hour or until golden brown. (Pudding should be firm enough to cut, but moist and not dry).
👨🍳 Chef's Culinary Notes
Cultural Heritage
Macaroni Pudding carries a rich culinary tradition rooted in regional home cooking. Developed over generations, the recipe highlights wholesome local ingredients prepared with time-honored kitchen techniques.
Dietary Substitutions
To substitute whole eggs in baking, unsweetened applesauce, mashed banana, or a commercial egg replacer can work smoothly depending on whether the recipe is sweet or savory.
Chef Technique Tips
Resist the urge to open the oven door during the first two-thirds of the baking cycle. Opening the door vents trapped heat and steam, which can cause delicate baked goods to deflate or lose their rise.
