Ingredients

• 225 grams egg noodles
• 480 milliliters whole milk
• 240 milliliters heavy cream
• 4 large eggs
• 100 grams granulated sugar
• 60 grams unsalted butter
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 0.5 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 0.25 teaspoon ground nutmeg
• 0.25 teaspoon salt
• 50 grams raisins (optional)

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

Bring a large pot of water to a boil, add a pinch of salt, and cook the egg noodles according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.

Step 3

In a medium saucepan, combine the milk, heavy cream, granulated sugar, butter, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, and salt. Heat the mixture over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally, until the sugar fully dissolves and the butter is melted. Be careful not to let the mixture boil.

Step 4

In a large mixing bowl, whisk the eggs thoroughly. Slowly pour the warm milk mixture into the eggs while whisking constantly to avoid curdling. This creates a custard base for the pudding.

Step 5

Add the cooked egg noodles to the custard mixture, stirring gently to combine. If you're using raisins, fold them in at this point.

Step 6

Pour the noodle and custard mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the custard is set. You can test this by inserting a knife into the center; it should come out clean.

Step 8

Remove the pudding from the oven and let it cool for about 10 minutes. It can be served warm or at room temperature.

Step 9

Optional: Dust the top with a little extra cinnamon or serve with whipped cream for an added touch of indulgence.
