Cook the Macaroni
Begin by bringing a pot of water to a rolling boil. Add a pinch of salt and a splash of cooking oil to prevent the macaroni from sticking together. Once the water is boiling, add the macaroni and cook until it becomes tender, approximately 8-10 minutes. Drain and set aside to cool slightly. -
-
Prepare the Eggs
While the macaroni is cooking, crack the eggs into a bowl and whisk them until fully combined. For easier pouring, transfer the beaten eggs into a squeeze bottle or a clean ketchup bottle. This will allow you to add the egg mixture to the macaroni later with precision. -
Heat the Mold
In a non-stick mold or a traditional ‘lumpur’ mold, add a small amount of cooking oil and heat it over medium heat. Make sure the oil is evenly distributed to ensure that the makelor does not stick to the mold. -
Combine the Macaroni and Mold
Once the mold is heated, add a generous portion of cooked macaroni to fill the bottom. Press it down slightly to form a base. -
Add the Egg Mixture
As the macaroni sets and begins to cook, carefully squeeze the whisked eggs over the top of the macaroni. This will create a deliciously soft, eggy layer that binds everything together. -
Cook Until Done
Cover the mold and allow the makelor to cook for about 5-7 minutes, or until the egg is fully cooked and the edges of the macaroni are golden brown. Keep an eye on it to avoid overcooking. -
Season and Serve
Once cooked, carefully remove the makelor from the mold and transfer it to a serving plate. Drizzle with your favorite food seasoning to enhance the flavor. Allow it to cool slightly before serving. -
Enjoy!
Slice into portions and serve warm. This delightful snack is perfect for kids and can be enjoyed with a side of ketchup or your favorite dipping sauce.
