EASY HOMEMADE AMISH EGG NOODLES

Steps:

• 1. **Please note: Prep time does not include one hour rest for dough or drying time, if desired.
• 2. Place flour, salt, eggs, yolks and water in stand mixer fitted with a dough hook. If you choose, you can also do by hand. Mix on speed 2 until dough comes together, scraping sides and bottom of bowl often. After a few minutes, if it seems too dry or too wet, add water or flour a spoonful at a time, just until it comes together. You don't want a sticky dough.
• 3. When the dough forms a ball, continue to knead on speed 2 for 5 more minutes. (By hand, about 10 minutes, or until dough becomes smooth.) The dough should not be sticky. Remember, you may want it to dry out later. Wrap in Saran Wrap and place on counter at room temp. for 1 hour to rest. It should not stick to the Saran Wrap.
• 4. Flour counter top. Then remove dough from wrap and roll as close to 1/16" as possible. As you roll with each pass, turn and flip the dough to avoid sticking to the counter. Keep your work area lightly floured at all times. The thicker the dough, the chewier the noodles and the longer it will take them to cook. Ideally, you want to be able to start to see the shadow of your hand through the dough, but not so thin that you can't pick up the noodles. Thinner is better in this case.
• 5. Then, make sure your dough moves easily on the counter. With a pastry wheel or pizza cutter, cut to desired width. It doesn't matter what width, but they should all be uniform so that they cook evenly.
• 6. Transfer to cookie sheet(s) lined with waxed paper and a little loose flour and allow to dry for about an hour if using immediately. If you wish to freeze them, allow to dry for at least 2-3 hours, then place in a ziplock bag and freeze. When ready to use, drop into boiling water or boiling broth while noodles are still frozen. Do not defrost noodles first or they'll stick together.
• 7. Old country Amish women would spread these out on the table and let them dry overnight. To speed things up in today's world, I put a small 7" fan on my counter which worked beautifully in a short amount of time. Drying time varies depending on how thick or thin you rolled them.

HOMEMADE EGG NOODLES

Steps:

• Whisk together the egg yolks and egg until lightened in color. Whisk in 3 Tablespoons water and salt. Add the egg mixture to the flour and work together with a wooden spoon until a shaggy dough begins to form. If the mixture is too dry, add an additional Tablespoon or two of water until it comes together. At some point, you'll likely find the spoon isn't cutting it and you'll want to turn the dough out onto a well floured surface and use your hands to knead the dough until smooth, about five to ten minutes.
• Re-flour your surface if needed, then divide the dough into two balls. Using a floured rolling pin, roll each dough ball out into a thin circle. Allow the dough to dry until no longer sticky but still pliable, about 40 minutes to 1 hour. From here you can either use a pizza cutter to cut long strips to the desired width, or roll each circle up like a jelly roll (I roll starting on the long end) and cut using the pizza cutter. I find the rolling method easier to get even strips, but it's totally personal preference.
• Lay cut strips out on a cooling rack to dry completely. Store in an airtight container for up to 1 month. When ready to cook, drop into boiling water and cook for 10-12 minutes or until soft but still a tad chewy (NOTE: cooking time will vary based on the width and length of your egg noodles). This recipe makes a perfect amount for a big batch of my Amish Chicken and Noodles or a large pot of chicken noodle soup.
