GRANDMA LEWIS SCRATCH NOODLES

Steps:

• 1. Hardware needed Lage bowl or heavy mixer Medium bowl for eggs Fork to whisk Rolling pin Large surface to roll out dough Large pot for broth
• 2. Combine room temp eggs and lightly whisk together.
• 3. In a large bowl or heavy mixer add the flour and salt,combine the eggs and slowly add the milk, just enough to form a semi dry ball of dough. Add more milk or flour to create consistency but do not overwork. Noodles will be tough.
• 4. Turn dough out onto a floured surface and divide into thirds. (Its easier to roll)
• 5. Roll egg dough out with a rolling pin and if it sticks dust with a little flour. Roll to 1/8 inch thickness. Roll into a rectangle. Then lightly flour the dough surface and from one short end roll into a tight long roll.
• 6. Using a sharp knife cut egg dough into strips. I usually cut about 1/4 inch. Once cut, open each one and allow to dry in the flour for at least 30 minutes. Repeat this for each ball of egg dough.
• 7. While your dough is drying combine your broth ingredients and allow it to come to a rolling boil.
• 8. When the broth comes to a rolling boil add your noodles a few at a time allowing the broth to come up to temp again. Stir frequently until all are in the broth and it begins to boil.
• 9. Turn down the heat to medium or simmer and allow to cook for 20 minutes or until tender. Add diced chicken, allow to simmer for five minutes, serve over mashed potatoes or a sourdough bread bowl.

"SPAETZLE" GERMAN EGG NOODLES

Steps:

• Put the flour and salt into a large bowl. Bring a large pot of salted water to the boil
• Add the eggs, and start mixing with a wooden spoon, gradually adding water as you go.
• When you have reached a thick consistency (dough should only slowly fall off the spoon) "beat" the dough hard until it forms some bubbles and is well blended.
• Make the Spaetzle by either using a special press (looks like a potato ricer with larger holes) or by scraping small parts of dough off a chopping board with a knife.
• Let each noodle drop into the boiling water (don't overcrowd the pot).
• Once they rise to the surface they are cooked through. Remove with a slotted spoon and enjoy!
