Ingredients

• 12 ounces wide egg noodles
• 0.5 cups unsalted butter
• 6 pieces large eggs
• 2 cups sour cream
• 8 ounces cream cheese
• 0.75 cups granulated sugar
• 1 cups whole milk
• 1 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 1 teaspoons ground cinnamon
• 0.5 cups golden raisins (optional)
• 1.5 cups cornflake crumbs
• 0.5 cups brown sugar
• 0.25 cups unsalted butter (melted)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with butter or non-stick cooking spray.

Step 2

Cook the egg noodles according to the package instructions, draining when al dente. Set aside.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth. Add the sour cream, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract, and mix until combined.

Step 4

In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, and cinnamon. Gradually blend this egg mixture into the cream cheese mixture until smooth and creamy.

Step 5

Fold in the cooked egg noodles and golden raisins (if using) until evenly combined. Transfer the mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly.

Step 6

In a small bowl, mix the cornflake crumbs, brown sugar, and cinnamon. Stir in the melted butter until it resembles a crumbly topping.

Step 7

Sprinkle the crumb topping evenly over the noodle mixture in the baking dish.

Step 8

Bake for 50-60 minutes or until the kugel is set and the topping is golden brown. A knife inserted into the center should come out clean.

Step 9

Allow the kugel to cool for 10-15 minutes before slicing and serving. Enjoy warm or at room temperature.
