GRANDMA'S BUTTER NOODLES

Steps:

• In a large bowl, whisk the eggs and melted butter together with a fork. Stir in the flour, baking powder and salt until dough becomes stiff. Knead on a lightly floured surface or in the bowl for a few minutes to blend completely. Divide the dough into thirds. On a lightly floured surface, roll each piece into a sheet about 1/16 of an inch thick. Place each sheet onto a dry cloth and set aside for 30 to 45 minutes to partially dry.
• When the noodle sheets are somewhat dry, roll up one at a time into a loose spiral and cut into strips as wide as you want using a sharp knife. Spread out the noodles to dry for about 1 hour before cooking or storing in freezer containers. To use frozen noodles, thaw in the container before using.
• To cook the noodles, drop into rapidly boiling water or broth, and cook until tender, 7 to 10 minutes.

OLD-FASHIONED HOMEMADE NOODLES

Steps:

• Measure flour into bowl and make a "well" in the flour.
• Drop the remaining ingredients into that "well."
• Work dough until it is stiff.
• Roll very thin.
• Let dry a minimum of two hours then cut into strips (I use a pizza cutter to cut the strips). You may dry longer.
• Bring boullion to a boil. If you are cooking the noodles with meat, you will want to bring the cooked meat to a boil with the broth.
• Add noodles and bring back to full boil. Lower heat to low-medium and cover pan.
• Cook covered for 18 - 20 minutes.

EGG NOODLES

Steps:

• In a large bowl, stir together the flour and salt. Add the beaten egg, milk, and butter. Knead dough until smooth, about 5 minutes. Let rest in a covered bowl for 10 minutes.
• On a floured surface, roll out to 1/8 or 1/4 inch thickness. Cut into desired lengths and shapes.
• Allow to air dry before cooking.
• To cook fresh pasta, in a large pot with boiling salted water cook until al dente.

HOMEMADE EGG NOODLES, THE OLD-FASHIONED WAY

Steps:

• Starting with approximately 1/2 to 1 cup of flour per egg, make a mound of flour with a nest in the middle on a large pastry board or flat surface.
• Sprinkle with the pinch of salt.
• Mix the eggs and water in a bowl until well beaten. Pour the egg mixture into the nest.
• Fold the flour into the eggs and knead the dough, adding flour until you achieve a soft, elastic dough that holds together, but doesn't shine, until it "feels right.".
• Let the dough set for about 10 minutes. (at room temperature).
• Roll out in batches to 1/8 inch thick or less (It expands when it cooks) -- make sure there is still flour on the board or flat surface you are using to roll out your noodles -- and cut in strips, as narrow or wide as you prefer. (caution: more than 3/4 inch wide strips becomes like dumplings when you cook them) [if you have a pasta press, this last part is much easier, and less messy, but in some ways less of the traditional fun, too].
• If possible let the cut noodles dry for about 10 minutes before adding them to the boiling broth in which you are going to cook them (water works, too).
• If you are too eager, you can just throw them in the soup as you cut them, but they will expand into thicker, softer noodles, if you do. [my family loves them both ways, with frozen peas added after the last noodles go into the pot.]
• It only takes 3-5 minutes for fresh noodles to cook, unless you didn't roll them out thin enough. Then it might take 7-8.
• Enjoy!
