I was working at Bloomies at the time....
and we were having one of our co-worker {at work} parties
and this woman { Claire} came in with this noodle pudding.
I had had noodle puddings before....
BUT NOT LIKE THIS ONE.
I know I should call it Claire's Noodle Pudding but.....
Claire Shmare - It's Mine Now
In my life I have had noodle puddings....
never like this one.
Usually they are dry and rubbery - yuck.
So.....
I begged and pleaded for the recipe and finally got it.
I am going to share it with you before the winter is over.
Because
I do really see this as a warm and cozy comfort food.
And
I urge you to try it.
It is really easy.
Your family members and friends will love you for making it,
and be prepared to pass out the recipe.
You have my permission to rename it.
hahahahah
The thing i like about this recipe is that it is
SO FLEXIBLE.
Here Goes:
Get a 9 x 13" pan or something gorgeous would work better.
8 - 12 oz of egg noodles {wide}
cook & drain
in a separate mixing bowl;
1/2 lb of butter or margarine
2/3 cup sugar
8 oz sour cream
4 eggs
use the whole eggs, but
**beat the egg whites separately
2/3 cup of milk
1/4 lb of cream cheese
1/2 lb of cottage cheese or RICOTTA cheese
1 teas vanilla
Mix noodles and ingredients together
Bake 30 minutes @ 350 degrees
Take out and apply TOPPING
1-2 cups of frosted flakes
and 3/4 cup of brown sugar mixture
Spread evenly across the top of noodles.
Bake again to brown the top @ 350 degrees
no more than 30 minutes
BTW
The next day it is just as delicious!!!
Now you can fool around and make a much more tidy topping
as shown above by substituting the frosted flakes with
YUM
Almonds & Powdered Sugar!!
How Pretty.
And when you get real good at this you can make in a mold.
You can also make it as a dinner using salmon or tuna
with peas and pearl onions.
Just reduce the sugar a little.
and use an appropriate topping.
Just serve with a great salad - what could be better?
Experimentation is what makes a great cook right?
Let me know if you come up with a great main dish recipe.
