MY NANNY'S HOME MADE EGG NOODLES

Steps:

• 1. Mix in medium size bowl, beat the eggs good and then add the salt. Then slowly add flour till mixture leaves the bowl and it is no longer sticky.
• 2. At this point you will want to use your hands, much easier to feel the texture. Once you have the right feeling of dough
• 3. Put on floured surface and roll out thin. I use a pizza cutter for fast cutting. If they are to fat this will turn into a dumpling type. So make sure it is even all over.
• 4. Then let your noodles dry out on newspaper, the longer they dry the better they cook. I usually add mine in a stock pot of chicken broth or you can be creative and make any flavor you desire.

BEST-EVER HOMEMADE EGG NOODLES

Steps:

• In a large bowl combine the flour with salt.
• Add in eggs, milk and soft butter; mix to combine, then knead until smooth (this should take you about 5-6 minutes).
• Cover with a clean tea towel and allow to rest for 10 minutes in the bowl.
• Flour your work surface.
• Place the dough on the surface.
• Using a lightly-floured rolling pin roll out to about 1/8-inch thickness or as thin as possible.
• Using a pizza cutter slice the dough into desired size strips (I do mine about 1/2-inch).
• Allow the strands to air-dry on the counter uncovered before cooking (this should take about 30 minutes or until no longer moist and sticky).
• If not using the noodles right away, toss with a small amount of flour and store covered in refrigerator until ready to use.
• The cooking time for fresh noodles takes much lesss time than dry.

EASY HOMEMADE EGG NOODLES

Steps:

• By Hand: Combine all the dry ingredients together in a large bowl. Make a well in the center and crack in the eggs. Pour in the milk (start with 2 tablespoons and add more if the mixture is too dry). Using a fork, whisk the mixture until it is mostly combined. It will look shaggy and have some dry spots. At this point, ditch the fork and get in there with your hands. Lift and knead the dough 5-6 times until there are no dry spots remaining and the dough forms a soft, slightly sticky ball. Cover the bowl and let the dough rest for an hour (or up to a couple of days in the refrigerator).
• Food Processor: Combine all the dry ingredients and pulse a few times in the bowl of a food processor. With the motor running, add the eggs and mix until the dough is crumbly. Add the milk a tablespoon at a time until the dough forms a ball around the edges of the food processor bowl. It will be slightly sticky but if you pinch a little bit in your fingers and roll it, it should stay together in a little ball without leaving a lot of residue on your fingers. Transfer the dough to a clean bowl, patting into a round ball. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let rest for an hour (or up to a couple of days in the refrigerator).
• On a lightly floured counter or mat, press the dough into a thick disc-shape. Using a rolling pin, roll the dough as thin as you like into a large rectangle-ish shape - keeping in mind the noodles will puff up quite a bit while boiling - I suggest rolling to at least 1/8-inch thick. See the pictures below for an example. A good rule of thumb is to roll them thinner than you think.
• Using a pizza cutter or knife, slice the dough into strips for noodles, depending on how thick you want them. I like to cut the entire rectangle in half when finished so the noodles aren't insanely long.
• Use the noodles immediately or let them dry in an even layer on a lightly floured parchment-lined baking sheet (it will probably take several sheets).
• If I make these in advance, I let them dry a bit and then toss them in a ziploc bag (they should be dry enough not to stick together) and refrigerate them for a couple of days or freeze them indefinitely.
