Noodle Pudding
- 2 cups milk
- 2 tablespoons (1/4 stick) unsalted butter, more for greasing pan
- 1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 1/2 cup sugar plus 1 tablespoon
- Pinch of salt
- 4 cups cooked pasta or egg noodles (1/2 pound uncooked)
- 1/2 cup raisins (optional)
- 2 eggs, beaten
- Heat oven to 350 degrees.
- In a small saucepan over low heat, warm the milk, butter, 1 teaspoon cinnamon, 1/2 cup sugar and the salt.
- Continue cooking until butter melts, then remove pan from heat; cool.
- Meanwhile, butter a 4-to-6-cup baking dish and put cooked noodles and raisins, if using, in it; toss gently to combine.
- Add eggs to cooled milk mixture and whisk; pour this mixture over noodles and sprinkle top with remaining sugar and cinnamon.
- Bake for 45 minutes, or until a thin-bladed knife inserted in center comes out clean, or nearly so; center should be just a little wobbly.
- Run under broiler for about 30 seconds if you like a browned top.
- Serve warm or at room temperature.
