How to Make Lokshen Kugel

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Cook 1 pound egg noodles in a large pot of boiling salted water for 8-10 minutes, or until al dente. Drain well and rinse with cold water to prevent sticking.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk together 4 large eggs, 1 cup granulated sugar, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon, and 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg.
  4. Add the drained noodles, 1/2 cup raisins, 1/2 cup milk, and 1/2 cup melted unsalted butter to the egg mixture. Stir gently but thoroughly to combine.
  5. Grease a 9x13 inch baking dish with butter or cooking spray.
  6. Pour the noodle mixture into the prepared baking dish. Dot the top with 2 tablespoons of extra melted butter.
  7. Bake for 40-50 minutes, or until golden brown and set. A toothpick inserted into the center should come out clean.
  8. Let cool slightly before slicing and serving. Enjoy warm or at room temperature!
