Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 oz wide egg noodles
- 4 tbsp unsalted butter
- 4 eggs
- 3 tbsp granulated sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1 cup whole milk
- 1 cup raisins
- 1 cup honey
- 0.5 cup water
- 2 tbsp lemon juice
- 0.25 tsp salt
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the egg noodles according to package instructions until just al dente. Drain and set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, melt the butter, then whisk in the eggs, sugar, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and milk until smooth.
Add the cooked noodles and raisins to the mixture. Mix until the noodles are fully coated with the custard.
Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish. Spread it evenly using a spatula.
In a small saucepan, combine the honey, water, lemon juice, and salt. Bring to a gentle simmer over medium heat, stirring until well combined.
Pour about 3/4 of the syrup mixture evenly over the noodle mixture in the baking dish, reserving the rest for serving.
Bake the kugel for 40-45 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the custard is set.
Remove the kugel from the oven and let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing.
Drizzle the reserved syrup over the sliced kugel before serving. Enjoy!
