Babka (kugel)



My grandma has always called it "Babka". However, it is also called Kugel-its Jewish twin moniker. I have always loved eating this at my grandma's. I was never one to complain eating dessert for dinner. It's a sweet luscious gob of mushy noodles swimming in your mouth. I always lust for more..


INGREDIENTS
  • Package of egg noodles or vermicelli (Vermisheli in russian)
  • 1 egg
  • 1 teaspoon butter or soft cream cheese
  • 1 teaspoon sugar
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • handful of raisins

DIRECTIONS

1) Boil water, add a pinch of salt
2) Cook noodles until soft
3) Drain noodles
4) In a bowl-mix egg, noodles, cinnamon, sugar, cream cheese/butter, raisins
5) coat thinly frying pan with vegetable oil
6) poor noodle mixture in and cook on low for 5-10 minutes
7) To flip place a plate on pan and flip, put other side on frying pan
8) cook 2nd side for 5-10 minutes
