Ingredients
- 1 pound Egg noodles (Quantity estimated (not specified in original recipe))

Instructions

- 2In a large bowl, whisk the eggs until well beaten. Add the drained noodles to the bowl and mix gently to combine.
- 3Grease a 9x13 inch baking dish with butter. Place a layer of the noodle mixture in the dish. Sprinkle with 1/4 cup of sugar, some pounded almonds, lemon zest, and raisins. Drizzle with melted butter. Add another layer of noodles, sugar, almonds, lemon zest, raisins, and melted butter. Repeat until all noodles are used.
- 4Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake for 2 hours, or until golden brown and set. If desired, add chopped apple with the almonds.
