"Many, many years ago, Nana Betty gave Sarah this recipe for Lokshen Kugel, a sweet noodle pudding. She was always amazed at what a wonderful cook Betty was and how well she managed out of a tiny kitchen, without the use of any modern utensils." Natanya Eskin

Ingredients

250g wide egg noodles (lokshen)
3 eggs, separated
80g (1/3 cup) caster sugar
500g (2 cups) ricotta cheese
160g (1 cup) sultanas
1 large granny smith apple, peeled and grated
100g unsalted butter, melted
Cinnamon sugar, for sprinkling

Method

Preheat the oven to 180°C. Grease a 25 x 20cm baking dish. Cook the noodles in a large saucepan of boiling salted water until just cooked. Drain and rinse with cold water
Whisk the egg whites until stiff peaks form. In a separate large bowl, beat together the egg yolks and sugar until light
Beat in the ricotta until well combined, then add the sultanas and apple and mix well. Mix in the noodles and melted butter, then gently fold through the egg whites
Place the mixture in the baking dish and sprinkle with the cinnamon sugar. Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until the top is golden and a little crisp. Serve warm or at room temperature
