Gluten-Free, Dairy-Free Noodle Kugel
Here is a gluten-free dairy-free kugel recipe to keep using for years to come! Stick with the quantities for noodles and liquid or the kugel may be too dry. Serve kugel warm from the oven or gently reheat it in a low oven (cover the dish with foil to keep it moist). For best results, do not replace eggs with an egg substitute.
