Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish and set aside.

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the egg noodles according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.

In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Stir in the brown sugar and heavy cream, cooking until smooth and bubbling, about 3-4 minutes. Add the salt and vanilla extract, then remove from heat.

Step 4

In a large bowl, whisk the eggs. Gradually add the butterscotch mixture to the eggs while whisking constantly to temper them.

Stir the grated carrots, cinnamon, and raisins (if using) into the egg mixture. Add the cooked noodles and toss to coat evenly.

Step 6

Pour the noodle mixture into the prepared baking dish. Spread it out evenly.

Step 7

In a small bowl, mix the breadcrumbs and chopped pecans (if using). Sprinkle the mixture evenly over the top of the kugel.

Remove from the oven and let cool for 10-15 minutes before slicing and serving.
