Sweet Dairy Noodle Kugel

Ingredients

1 12 oz package wide egg noodles

4 eggs

½ cup sugar

½ cup (1 stick) unsalted butter

8 oz full fat sour cream

10 oz canned, crushed pineapple (drained)

1 tsp vanilla

¼ tsp salt

Directions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease a deep, square baking dish (8×8 or 9×9). If your baking dish not a square, the kugel will be too thin and you won’t be able to scoop the kugel into balls.

Cook noodles according to directions (around 8-10 minutes). Drain and use right away.

Place butter in a large bowl. Add hot noodles right on top and allow the butter to melt.

In another bowl, whisk eggs, sugar and vanilla together. Pour mixture on top of noodles and mix. Add sour cream, crushed pineapple and salt and mix again.

Pour noodle mixture into greased baking dish. Bake for 40-45 minutes or until just golden on top.
