How to Make Creamy Pineapple Noodle Kugel With Crunchy Cornflake Topping

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Grease a 13 x 9-inch glass baking dish with butter.
  3. Cook 1 pound egg noodles in a large pot of boiling water with 2 tablespoons salt until al dente. Drain well.
  4. Return noodles to the pot and toss with 1/4 cup (1/2 stick) melted butter until evenly coated.
  5. In a large bowl, whisk together 2 cups milk, 4 large eggs, 1/2 cup granulated sugar, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and 1/4 teaspoon salt until light and frothy.
  6. Stir in 16 ounces (2 cups) sour cream and 15 ounces (1 3/4 cups) drained crushed pineapple.
  7. Gently fold the pineapple mixture into the noodles until well combined.
  8. Pour the noodle mixture into the prepared baking dish.
  9. In a separate bowl, combine 2 cups crushed cornflakes, 1/4 cup granulated sugar, and 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional).
  10. Sprinkle the cornflake mixture evenly over the top of the noodle kugel.
  11. Dot the top with 2 tablespoons of butter, cut into small pieces.
  12. Bake for 60-75 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the kugel is set and no longer jiggles in the center.
  13. Let stand for 10 minutes before slicing and serving. Enjoy!
