Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 250 grams egg noodles
- 50 grams unsalted butter
- 3 tablespoons poppy seeds
- 100 grams raisins
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 500 milliliters water
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
Instructions
Bring a large pot of water to a boil, adding the salt while heating.
Add the egg noodles to the boiling water and cook according to the package instructions (around 8-10 minutes) until al dente.
While the noodles are cooking, in a small bowl, soak the raisins in warm water for about 10 minutes to plump them up. Drain and set aside.
Drain the cooked noodles and set aside.
In a large skillet or saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat.
Stir the poppy seeds into the melted butter and toast them for 1-2 minutes, being careful not to burn them.
Add the sugar to the skillet and stir until it dissolves into the butter and poppy seed mixture.
Reduce the heat to low and add the cooked noodles to the skillet. Toss gently to coat the noodles evenly with the butter, sugar, and poppy seed mixture.
Add the plumped raisins and lemon zest to the skillet, stirring to combine. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes to warm through.
Taste and adjust sweetness if necessary by adding more sugar, then serve immediately.
