Aunt Helen'S Noodle Kugel

• For the kugel
• 1 8-oz. package fine egg noodles
• 1/2 pound butter, melted
• 1 8-oz. package cream cheese, softened
• 1/2 cup sugar
• 1/2 pint sour cream
• 5 large eggs
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon vanilla
• For the topping
• 4 tablespoons of butter, melted
• 1 cup Graham Cracker crumbs

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
2. Butter a 12-by-8 inch baking dish.
3. For the kugel, cook noodles for an extra long time (if the package says 4-to-6 minutes, cook for at least 8 minutes); drain and rinse with cold water and set aside.
4. Mix together (by hand or with a hand-held electric mixer) the melted butter, cream cheese and sugar. Add sour cream, eggs, salt and vanilla and mix well.
5. Add noodles, mix by hand (Aunt Helen recommends a wooden spoon), and pour into baking dish.
6. For the topping, mix melted butter and crumbs together and sprinkle crumb mixture on top. Bake for about 1 hour, or when knife comes out clean.
