Ingredients

  • 1 12 ounce package thin egg noodles
  • 1 cup sugar
  • cup oil
  • 4 eggs
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground black pepper or more if you like pepper

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350°F / 175°C.
  • Bring a pot of water to a boil. Cook noodles according to the instructions on the package. Strain and set aside.
  • Add the sugar and oil to a large pot on low heat. Stir until sugar is dissolved and a deep golden-brown color, but not burnt.
  • Turn off the heat and add the noodles into the pot of sugar. Immediately stir with a big spoon until the noodles are coated in the caramel. It’s okay if the sugar hardens in some spots – it will melt in the oven.
  • Allow the mixture to cool for 5 minutes. Mix in the eggs, salt and pepper. We allow it to cool, so the eggs don’t cook right away.
  • Scoop the mixture into a greased baking dish. Bake for 1 hour.
