Homemade Egg Noodles Recipe

You will need :-

2 cups all-purpose flour*

3 egg yolks

1 egg

2 teaspoon salt

¼ to ½ cup water

 

Measure flour into bowl; make a well in center and add egg yolks, whole egg and salt. With hands, thoroughly mix egg into flour. Add water, 1 tablespoon at a time, mixing thoroughly after each addition. (Add only enough water to form dough into a ball).

 

Turn dough onto well floured cloth covered board; knead until smooth and elastic, about 10 minutes. Cover; let rest 10 minutes.

 

Divide dough into 4 equal parts. Roll dough, 1 part at a time, into paper thin rectangle, keeping remaining dough covered. Roll rectangle around rolling pin; slip out rolling pin.

 

Cut dough crosswise into ⅛ inch strips for narrow noodles and ¼ inch strips for wide noodles. Shake out strips and place on towel to dry, about 2 hours.

 

When dry, break dry strips into smaller pieces. Cook in 3 quarts boiling salted water (1 tablespoon salt) 12 to 15 minutes or until tender. Drain thoroughly.

 

* if using self rising flour, omit salt.
