Homemade Egg Noodles
Ingredients
- 2 cup flour
- 1 tsp salt
- 2 eggs
- 1 egg yolk
- 1 tbsp cold water 1 – 2 additional tablespoons of water, as needed
Instructions
- Dump flour onto a cutting board or other clean, flat surface. Sprinkle salt over flour.
- Make a well in the center of the flour mound. In a small bowl, whisk together eggs, egg yolk and 1 tablespoon cold water. Pour into the well.
- Working from the outside in, cut the flour into the egg mixture until it’s completely incorporated and all the dough is moistened.
- With your hands, start working the dough together to form a ball. If it is not sticking together easily, add a bit more cold water as needed. Don’t add too much though. You want the dough to be stiff and not sticky. (You can do this up to a day ahead of when you need the noodles. Just wrap the ball in a clean towel or plastic wrap and refrigerate until needed.)
- On a floured surface, roll out the dough to desired consistency. (I like a medium-thickness to my noodles usually.) Cut the dough into desired shapes or sizes.
- Add the noodles to a large pot of boiling, salted water and cook until the noodles are desired consistency. Medium thickness noodles will take about 5 to 7 minutes. Taste one to decide when they are done to your liking.
Notes
Here’s how I used these noodles in our dinner. I actually cooked them right along with everything else. I’ll share the recipe tomorrow night.
