🍝 Homemade Egg Noodles Recipe 🍳

Posted by BMA24

Homemade egg noodles are a classic, comforting dish that’s simple to make and delicious in soups, casseroles, or served with a rich sauce. With just a few basic ingredients, you can create tender, flavorful noodles that elevate any meal.

📋 Ingredients:

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour 🌾
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt 🧂
  • 2 large eggs 🥚
  • 1/4 cup milk 🥛
  • 1 tablespoon butter, melted 🧈

📝 Instructions:

1. Prepare the Dough:

  1. Mix dry ingredients:
  • In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour and salt.
  1. Add wet ingredients:
  • Make a well in the center of the flour mixture and add the eggs, milk, and melted butter. Stir the ingredients together until a dough forms.
  1. Knead the dough:
  • Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Knead the dough for about 5-10 minutes, or until it is smooth and elastic. If the dough is too sticky, add a little more flour as needed.

2. Roll and Cut the Noodles:

  1. Roll out the dough:
  • Divide the dough into two portions to make it easier to handle. Using a rolling pin, roll each portion of dough out on a floured surface until it is very thin, about 1/8 inch thick or less.
  1. Cut the noodles:
  • Use a sharp knife, pizza cutter, or pasta cutter to slice the dough into strips. You can make the noodles as wide or narrow as you like. For traditional egg noodles, aim for about 1/4 inch wide strips.
  1. Let the noodles dry:
  • Lay the noodles out on a floured surface or hang them over a drying rack. Let them dry for at least 15-20 minutes before cooking. If you’re not cooking them immediately, allow them to dry completely and store in an airtight container for up to 2 days.

3. Cook the Noodles:

  1. Boil the noodles:
  • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the noodles and cook for 3-5 minutes, or until they are tender but still slightly firm to the bite (al dente). Fresh noodles cook faster than dried ones, so keep an eye on them.
  1. Drain and serve:
  • Drain the noodles and serve them with your favorite sauce, in a soup, or as a side dish.
