CRUNCHY NOODLE KUGEL à LA GREAT-AUNT MARTHA



Crunchy Noodle Kugel à la Great-Aunt Martha image

The genius of this sweet noodle kugel - the rich, custardy casserole that is a staple of Jewish cooking - is that its top is designed to offer maximum crunch while its interior remains creamy and luscious. The secret: use a jellyroll pan, which means that there is a greater amount of kugel surface area to brown in the oven, and bake it at a slightly higher temperature. Soaking the raisins in sherry or orange juice adds flavor, and also keeps them from burning in the extra-hot oven.
