Ingredients:
- 2 large eggs
- 3/4 teaspoon salt
- 2 Tablespoons milk
- 1 1/2- 2 cups all-purpose flour
Instruction:
- Mix eggs, milk, and salt together until smooth. Stir in one cup of flour until smooth. Add additional flour, just a small spoonful at a time, until the dough comes together in a ball, but is still slightly sticky.
- Dump dough out onto a floured surface. Use well floured hands to knead the dough with your hands, until it’s no longer sticky, about 3-5 minutes. Allow dough to rest for 10 minutes.
- Roll out onto a lightly floured counter until it’s very thin — less than 1/4” thick or paper thin.
- Use a sharp knife or pizza cutting wheel to cut the noodles into long strips, however narrow or wide you like. I like to roughly gather them with my fingers into a pile to make them more shapely, and not so flat. You could even twist some with your fingers to make them prettier.
- To cook them immediately, add them to a pot of boiling water and cook until tender to the bite, about 2-3 minutes. Drain and serve in your favorite recipe requiring egg noodles like Easy Beef Stroganoff or Swedish Meatballs.
- Or cook them in a pot of boiling soup, like my favorite homemade chicken noodle soup. Or, enjoy them plain with butter and a sprinkle of parmesan cheese.
Homestyle Egg Noodles
This homestyle egg noodle recipe is incredibly easy to make by hand in just 15 minutes with 4 basic ingredients.
Prep: 20min
Total: 40min
Yield: 4
Ingredients:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon fine sea salt
- 1 large egg + 1 large egg yolk
- 1/3 to 1/2 cup water
Instruction:
- Whisk together flour and salt in a large mixing bowl. Add egg, egg yolk and 1/4 cup water and stir until a dough ball starts to form. Add 2 to 4 tablespoons more water as needed until the dough is slightly sticky and holds together well.
- Transfer the dough to a lightly-floured work surface and sprinkle with flour. Knead with your hands for 1-2 minutes or until the dough is evenly combined and no longer sticky and forms a relatively smooth and soft ball. (The dough will not be 100% smooth, which is okay.)
- Generously flour the work surface and the top of the dough ball once more. Use a rolling pin to roll the dough out evenly to your desired thickness. (I recommend between ¼” to ⅛” thick.) Lightly dust the top of the dough with flour, then sse a pizza slicer to slice the dough into your desired size of noodles. (I recommend roughly 3” x ½” strips.) Gently toss the noodles to combine, which will help prevent them from sticking together while cooking.
- Cook. If you are using the noodles immediately, cook them in boiling water or broth for 2 to 3 minutes, depending on their thickness, until they are tender. Drain (or skip the step, if cooking the noodles directly in a soup or sauce) and enjoy!
