Frequently asked questions

How long should the macaroni pudding bake?
The pudding is cooked in a water bath in the oven for about 1½ hours. In addition, allow ½ hour to parboil the macaroni in water plus the time it takes to boil it into the milk—around 3 hours in all.
Why is the macaroni boiled first in water and then in milk?
The macaroni is broken into pieces and boiled for ½ hour in boiling water (1 liter), which is drained off. It is then cooked further in 1½ liters of milk until the milk has boiled in, so the pudding becomes rich and binding.
What is the pudding served with?
Erken recommends red sauce (berry sauce) with it. The recipe is from Henriette Schønberg Erken's «Stor kokebok» (1914), p. 468, and serves 8.
How should the mold be prepared?
The mold is greased and dusted (for example with fine breadcrumbs or sugar) before the mixture is poured in, so the pudding releases easily when it is turned out.
