Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 225 grams egg noodles
- 480 milliliters whole milk
- 240 milliliters heavy cream
- 4 large eggs
- 100 grams granulated sugar
- 60 grams unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.5 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 50 grams raisins (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F) and grease a medium-sized baking dish with butter or non-stick spray.
Bring a large pot of water to a boil, add a pinch of salt, and cook the egg noodles according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
In a medium saucepan, combine the milk, heavy cream, granulated sugar, butter, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, and salt. Heat the mixture over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally, until the sugar fully dissolves and the butter is melted. Be careful not to let the mixture boil.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk the eggs thoroughly. Slowly pour the warm milk mixture into the eggs while whisking constantly to avoid curdling. This creates a custard base for the pudding.
Add the cooked egg noodles to the custard mixture, stirring gently to combine. If you're using raisins, fold them in at this point.
Pour the noodle and custard mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly.
Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the custard is set. You can test this by inserting a knife into the center; it should come out clean.
Remove the pudding from the oven and let it cool for about 10 minutes. It can be served warm or at room temperature.
Optional: Dust the top with a little extra cinnamon or serve with whipped cream for an added touch of indulgence.
