Lokshen Kugel...Noodle Pudding

Why I only make this recipe once or twice a year during the Jewish holidays I do not know. It is really a great recipe to make for brunch or a light lunch ,or dinner. It is not too sweet and just delicious. We usually serve this at our Yom Kippur break the fast dinner which consists of bagels, and lox, and lots of salads...this is sweet but it is not dessert. You could of course serve it as dessert. It is delicious piping hot straight from the oven. The top becomes brown and crisp and the inside creamy. It is also very good reheated and can be frozen as well. I adapted this recipe from one I got on a cooking message board I frequent. This is bakinfool's Mom's Famous Noodle Kugel

Famous Noodle Kugel
1 pound Wide Egg Noodles
2 cups Sour Cream
16 oz. container Cottage Cheese
6 Eggs
1 cup Sugar
1 stick Butter
2 tsp Vanilla
splash of Lemon Juice
Cinnamon


Preheat oven to 350, grease a 13 by 9 baking dish
cook noodles, drain well
combine sour cream, cottage cheese, eggs, and sugar
melted butter and vanilla, mix well
add the lemon juice, mix well
stir in the noodles, pour into prepared pan
sprinkle the top with cinnamon
bake for 1hr 15 min


optional - Add 1/2 cup raisins and/ or one diced peeled apple
While you can use reduced fat sour cream and cottage cheese, I think this is really best with
full fat. Do not use non fat sour cream or cottage cheese.


This recipe also halves very nicely.

  3. I love this but when I saw it was sweet rather than savory...I went like WHOA....delish!

  4. We actually eat a non dairy version of this with savory foods. If one is not kosher this would be eaten with say, roasted chicken and veggies as the starchy portion of the dinner...
    my Mom makes one with no dairy products...well the butter or actually margarine and the raisins and the apples...with roasted chicken it is heavenly...

    I just think this would make a lovely part of a Sunday brunch....
    It is really, really, good....
    I hope you will all give it a whirl!

    1. If you keep kosher & want to eat this with a meal, or use it with a protein, it's great with fish, we make it with salmon frequently. If you want to eat a kugel with a meat, there are plenty of non dairy kugel recipes out there

  13. Comfort food at its finest!

    I like the combination of ingredients in this one Linda ~ cottage cheese, sour cream, butter and a kiss of lemon juice and cinnamon. What is not to like?!

    I'm sure your kitchen smells heavenly while it is baking, too. I hope your holiday was perfect dear friend. xo

  19. I’ve seen and eaten many kugel recipes. I’ve never seen one that is only baked for 15 minutes! All of them are at least an hour. Was that a typo?
