- 4 tbsp butter
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- 0.5 cup raisins
- 1 cup cornflakes (optional, for topping)
- 2 tbsp butter (melted, for topping)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
Cook the egg noodles according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, sour cream, cottage cheese, milk, sugar, melted butter, vanilla extract, and ground cinnamon until smooth.
Stir the cooked noodles and raisins into the egg mixture until evenly combined.
Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish and spread evenly.
If desired, prepare the topping by mixing cornflakes with melted butter and sprinkle it evenly over the top of the kugel.
Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the kugel is set in the center.
Allow the kugel to cool for 5-10 minutes before slicing and serving.
