Raisin Farfel Kugel is a traditional Jewish dish that is sweet, savory and perfect for any occasion. This dish is made by softening farfel (which is made from matzo) in hot water, then mixing it with eggs, raisins, and cinnamon sugar. The mixture is then baked in the oven until golden brown and set. The result is a dish that is both crispy and soft with a delightful pop of sweetness from the raisins. Raisin Farfel Kugel can be served as a dessert or as a side dish to any main course. It's a versatile dish that's perfect for any holiday or family gathering.

Instructions

1.	Preheat the oven to 350°F.

3.	In a separate bowl, combine the beaten eggs, raisins and salt. Mix well.
4.	In a small bowl, mix together the sugar and cinnamon.
5.	In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the farfel to the pan and stir until the farfel is coated in butter.
6.	Add the egg mixture to the skillet and mix well.
7.	Add the cinnamon sugar to the skillet and stir to combine.
8.	Transfer the mixture to a greased 9x13 inch baking dish and spread it out evenly.
