Sweet Noodle Kugel Recipe

The sweet dairy noodle kugel is a beloved Jewish-American comfort food for a reason.

  • Total Time: 55 minutes
  • Yield: Serves 10-12 1x

Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 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
  • 12 cups crushed cornflakes (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease a deep, square baking dish (8×8- or 9×9-inch). If your baking dish not a square, the kugel will be too thin.
  2. Cook noodles according to directions (around 8-10 minutes). Drain and use right away.
  3. Place butter in a large bowl. Add hot noodles right on top and allow the butter to melt.
  4. 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.
  5. Pour noodle mixture into greased baking dish. Top with crushed cornflakes, if desired. Bake for 40-45 minutes or until just golden on top.
