Instrucciones

1. 1

   Preheat your Oven to ![350°F]. Generously Butter a 9x13-inch Baking Dish and set aside.

2. 2

   Bring a large Pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the Egg Noodles according to package directions until just al dente — do not overcook, as they will continue to soften in the oven. Drain well in a Colander and set aside.

3. 3

   In a large Mixing Bowl, beat the softened Cream Cheese with a Hand Mixer on ^[medium speed] until completely smooth and fluffy, about 1–2 minutes. This step is key — no lumps!

4. 4

   Add the Sour Cream, Cottage Cheese, Milk, melted Butter, Sugar, Vanilla Extract, Cinnamon, and Salt to the Cream Cheese. Beat on ^[low speed] until everything is well combined and smooth.

5. 5

   Add the lightly beaten Eggs and mix on ^[low] just until incorporated. Do not overmix once the Eggs are added.

6. 6

   Fold the drained Egg Noodles into the custard mixture using a Spatula, making sure every noodle is well coated. If using Raisins, fold them in now. Pour the mixture into the prepared Baking Dish and spread it into an even layer.

7. 7

   In a small Mixing Bowl, mix together the topping Sugar and Cinnamon. Sprinkle the cinnamon-sugar evenly over the top of the kugel, then scatter the small pieces of Butter over the surface.

8. 8

   Bake uncovered for 55–60 minutes, until the top is deep golden brown and the center is just set (it should have only a very slight jiggle). If the top is browning too quickly, loosely tent with Aluminum Foil after 40 minutes.

9. 9

   Remove from the Oven and let the kugel rest for at least 15 minutes before slicing. It can be served warm or at room temperature — both are delicious. Cut into squares and serve.
