HOMEMADE EGG~ NOODLES





Ingredients
  • 3 C. Flour
  • 1/2 Tsp. salt
  • 2 Eggs
  • 1 T. Butter, melted
  • 1/2 C. Milk
Instructions

 Get your ingredients so that you don’t have to grab anything while mixing. Your gonna need that flour so keep the lid off and handy....
  1. Place the flour and salt in a mixing bowl and form a well in the center.Pour the butter, milk, and eggs into the center of the well.Get your rings off, and dig in with both hands....mix the ingredients until they come together into a ball, adding flour if needed.
  1. Knead for 5 minutes on a flour covered table ......After about 5 minutes the dough should be pretty smooth {* note it will not be as smooth a  bread dough as there is no yeast in it.}..... Place the dough in a bowl with a towel covering it  for 10 minutes......Roll the dough on a floured surface  into  as close as you can get to a rectangular shape  about 1/4″ thick .....The dough will expand when it’s cooked, so if it is not rolled thin enough you will have very thick dumpling type noodles......Cut the dough  lengthwise in the length you want your noodles......Using a pizza cutter to cut the noodles{ I used a cheese cutter for a pretty edge} slice the dough into strips width wise, making each strip 1/4″-1/2″ wide.
  1. Dust a little flour over the tops of the noodles and then Gently toss them with your hands, lightly coating the noodles with flour.....The noodles can be allowed to air dry and then  saved for later in an airtight container for up to a month in the refrigerator....or can be boiled in a pot of salted water for 5 to 7 minutes then added to your favorite recipe, or just add butter..... For a sweet treat add some cinnamon sugar...yummmmmm .
