Butterscotch Carrot Noodle Pudding Aka Kugel

"This is a very sweet noodle pudding. Serve this as a sweet side dish like you would a Thanksgiving sweet potato casserole. You may halve this recipe if you like, in which case use 3 medium eggs. Please use mild curry powder in this."

  1. Wow --- this is sooo good and perfect for desert! It was a surprise for me because I was expecting something more like a side dish because of the noodles and carrots but instead it is a delicious sweet pudding that everyone enjoyed and with the carrots and the good-for-you stuff in it, I can even justify that it's good for me so I can have more helpings! Thanks Heather for sharing this winning recipe! This will be served often in our house as a desert.
