Ingredients

• 12 ounces Wide egg noodles
• 0.5 cup Butter
• 4 large Eggs
• 0.5 cup Granulated sugar
• 1 cup Sour cream

• 0.5 cup Milk
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 0.5 cup Raisins
• 1 cup Cornflakes (crushed)
• 2 tablespoons Brown sugar

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

Cook the wide egg noodles in a large pot of salted boiling water until al dente, according to package instructions. Drain and transfer the noodles to a large mixing bowl.

Step 3

Add the butter to the hot noodles, and stir until the butter is fully melted and the noodles are evenly coated.

Step 4

In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, granulated sugar, sour cream, cottage cheese, milk, vanilla extract, and ground cinnamon until smooth.

Step 5

Pour the egg mixture over the buttered noodles and mix until well combined.

Step 6

Fold in the raisins to evenly distribute them throughout the noodle mixture.

Step 7

Transfer the noodle mixture to the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly.

Step 8

In a small bowl, combine the crushed cornflakes and brown sugar. Sprinkle this mixture evenly over the top of the noodle mixture to create a crunchy topping.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the custard is set in the center.

Step 10

Remove the Kugel from the oven and allow it to cool for 10-15 minutes before slicing into squares or rectangles.

Step 11

Serve warm or at room temperature as a side dish or dessert. Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
