- 500 milliliters water
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
Directions
Step 1
Bring a large pot of water to a boil, adding the salt while heating.
Step 2
Add the egg noodles to the boiling water and cook according to the package instructions (around 8-10 minutes) until al dente.
Step 3
While the noodles are cooking, in a small bowl, soak the raisins in warm water for about 10 minutes to plump them up. Drain and set aside.

Drain the cooked noodles and set aside.
Step 5
In a large skillet or saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat.

Step 7
Add the sugar to the skillet and stir until it dissolves into the butter and poppy seed mixture.
Step 8
Reduce the heat to low and add the cooked noodles to the skillet. Toss gently to coat the noodles evenly with the butter, sugar, and poppy seed mixture.

Step 10
Taste and adjust sweetness if necessary by adding more sugar, then serve immediately.
