Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Matzo farfel
- 1 cup Boiling water
- 3 large Eggs
- 0.5 cup Sugar
- 0.25 cup Vegetable oil
- 1 cup Raisins
- 1 teaspoon Cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- Nonstick cooking spray
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease an 8-inch square baking dish or casserole dish with nonstick cooking spray.
In a large mixing bowl, combine 2 cups of matzo farfel with 1 cup of boiling water. Stir to moisten and let sit for 5 minutes to absorb the liquid.
In a separate bowl, whisk together 3 large eggs, 0.5 cup of sugar, 0.25 cup of vegetable oil, 1 teaspoon of cinnamon, 0.25 teaspoon of salt, 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract, and 2 tablespoons of honey until well combined.
Add the egg mixture to the soaked matzo farfel and stir until fully incorporated.
Fold in 1 cup of raisins, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish, smoothing out the top to ensure an even layer.
Bake in the preheated oven for 40 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the kugel is set in the center.
Allow the kugel to cool for 10 minutes before slicing into squares or scooping to serve. Enjoy warm or at room temperature!
