CINNAMON RAISIN KUGEL



Cinnamon Raisin Kugel image

Nothing beats a baked noodle melody with sweet raisins, cinnamon, sugar, and a mess of other great tasting add-ins. This was my request every year at our family gatherings. Sometimes I also add 3 ounces of maraschino cherries and an 8-ounce can of crushed pineapple.

CINNAMON-RAISIN NOODLE KUGEL



Cinnamon-Raisin Noodle Kugel image

Kugel is a traditional baked Jewish "pudding" or "casserole." Most often, kugel is made from egg noodles or potatoes and can either be sweet or savory. A sweet kugel (like this one) commonly combines fruit, sour cream, cottage cheese and eggs with cooked noodles and the mixture is then baked to achieve a firm, custard-like consistency. The cinnamon-raisin flavor combination is a classic, but don't miss the cranberry-orange variation that follows the main recipe.

Number Of Ingredients 12

12 ounces wide egg noodles
4 tablespoons butter
5 eggs, lightly beaten
1 cup cottage cheese
3/4 cup sour cream
1 8-ounce can crushed pineapple, drained
2 to 3 teaspoons vanilla extract (according to taste)
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
3 tablespoon sugar, divided
Pinch of salt
2/3 cup golden raisins
2 tablespoons panko crumbs

Steps:

  • Cook the egg noodles according to package directions, drain, add the butter and toss until the butter is completely melted. Set aside to cool.
  • Position a rack in the center of the oven, preheat to 350°F and generously butter a 13 x 9-inch baking dish.
  • Plump your raisins by soaking them in hot water for 5 minutes. Drain well and set aside.
  • In a large mixing bowl, combine the eggs, cottage cheese, sour cream, pineapple, vanilla, cinnamon, 2 tablespoons of the sugar and a pinch of salt. Add the noodles and raisins and combine thoroughly. Transfer to the prepared baking dish, cover tightly with aluminum foil and bake for 45 minutes.
  • Uncover the kugel and sprinkle the top with panko crumbs, the remaining 1 tablespoon of sugar and a dusting of cinnamon if desired. Return to the oven until the crumbs are lightly toasted, 8 to 12 minutes.
  • Allow to cool for 15 to 20 minutes before cutting into squares for serving. May be served warm, or at room temperature.

  • Recipe Variation ~ Cranberry-Orange Noodle Kugel:
  • Replace the raisins with dried cranberries, reduce the vanilla to 1 teaspoon, reduce the cinnamon to 1/2 teaspoon and add 1 tablespoon of grated orange zest. If desired, replace the panko crumbs with 1/3 cup toasted sliced almonds.
