• Boil a fat hen with onion and celery until meat falls off the bone ; remove chicken, celery and onion from broth - leave broth in large soup pot. Noodles: Beat eggs with a fork or whisk (in large bowl) Stir in: 10 Tbs. evaporated milk (2/3 cup) In a separate bowl, mix together 1 tsp salt, ½ tsp baking powder and 2 cups of flour Mix with milk and egg mixture Add about another cup of flour until dough is stiff. (approx.. 3 cups total) On a floured surface, roll dough until about 1/8 inch thick rectangle Let dry 15-30 minutes Roll up the flattened dough (Be sure there's still flour on both sides so it won't stick together...it will look like a log) Slice ¼ inch wide - don't make too wide Unroll slices and pinch to about 3-inch strips Let "dry" on cookie sheets for about an hour or put in freezer; then in bags when frozen Drop (a few at a time) into boiling chicken broth; if frozen, drop in while frozen Bring to full boil. Turn down to a simmer, cover and cook until tender; stir often. (Cover and cook 15-20 min.) Can add in some of the chicken from the hen.

MOM'S EASY CHICKEN & HOMEMADE NOODLES

Steps:

• In large stock pot, combine chicken, salt & water. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, cover & simmer til chicken is fully cooked.
• While chicken cooks, combine eggs & salt in mixing bowl (I use a stand mixer with dough hook attachment, but it can be mixed by hand with a fork) & beat eggs slightly. Gradually add flour & milk to eggs & continue mixing until the flour is incorporated & dough is no longer sticky to the touch. Slightly more or less flour may be necessary, depending on the size of your eggs.
• When dough is ready, form into a ball & turn out onto a well floured surface. Knead by hand a few times, adding more flour if it gets sticky again. Pat into a round & then roll out into a large rectangle about 12x15 or so & 1/4 inch thick. Be sure to flip dough often, keeping it well floured so it doesn't stick.
• Starting at a short end, use a pizza cutter to cut the dough into 1/4 inch wide (or smaller)strips. (To do the cutting with a sharp knife: flour the top of your rectangle, roll up jelly roll style & slice into 1/8 inch spirals.) When all strips are cut, unroll if needed & toss them with enough flour to keep them from sticking together. Spread noodles out in a single layer on your rolling surface & leave to dry a bit while you are finishing the chicken.
• When chicken is cooked, remove to a cutting board, (discarding the water it was cooked in) & use two forks to shred it into bite-sized lengths.
• Add the chicken broth to the stock pot & bring broth & water to a boil.
• Add noodles & whatever flour is with them to the boiling pot.
• Add the shredded chicken & stir gently. Reduce heat to low to medium-low and simmer, uncovered, for about 10 minutes.
• Add the cream of chicken soup & stir well. If this makes the mixture too thick, add enough of the optional water to make your desired consistency. we like it a bit stew-like, but still thin enough to look like gravy on mashed potatoes.
• Simmer all for another 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally, or until noodles are tender. Timing really depends on how thick your noodles are cut. We like them a little on the thick side. Serve over mashed potatoes.
