Grandma Lewis Scratch Noodles Recipes

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.

Gradually mix with hands or a wooden spoon until well blended., Gather into a ball and knead on a floured surface until smooth, about 10 minutes. If necessary, add remaining flour to keep dough from sticking to surface or hands. Divide the dough into thirds. On a lightly floured surface, roll each section into a paper-thin rectangle. Dust top of dough with flour to prevent sticking while rolling. Trim the edges and flour both sides of dough. , Roll dough, jelly-roll style. Using a sharp knife, cut 1/4-in. slices. Unroll noodles and allow to dry on paper towels before cooking. , To cook, bring salted water to a rapid boil.

GRANDMA'S THANKSGIVING NOODLES

Steps:

• Combine eggs, egg yolks, water, and salt in a bowl; beat with an electric mixer until combined. Beat in 2 cups flour. Mix in 1 cup flour with a wooden spoon. Add more flour to make it as thick as you can stir. Divide dough into 4 equal balls.
• Generously dust a pastry cloth, a rolling pin, and 4 sheets of waxed paper with flour. Roll each ball of dough on the pastry cloth until 1/8 to 1/4 inch thick. Let dough sit for 45 minutes. Flip each piece of dough (it will be hard to flip) and let sit for another 45 minutes.
• Stack pieces of dough together and cut into noodles. Let noodles dry for about 3 hours.
• Bring chicken broth to a boil in a large pot. Add noodles and cook, uncovered, until soft with no bite and the broth has thickened, 15 to 20 minutes.

GRANDMA'S HOMEMADE CHICKEN NOODLES

Steps:

• The chicken can be whole pieces or bite sized whatever you prefer. I like to cut chicken breast into bite sized pieces.
• In a large soup pot boil chicken in water or chicken broth. Add garlic, salt and pepper to taste.
• While chicken is boiling combine flour, salt and eggs into a large mixing bowl. Start with a 1/4 cup of milk and add more milk or flour to get a pie crust type consistency.
• Roll out dough on a floured surface as thin as you like remembering that the noodles will probably double in thickness when cooking (Thinner the better in my mind). Cut the noodles with a pizza or noodle cutter. I typically cut them into 1/2 inch by 5 inch pieces.
• If the chicken is finished cooking then add the noodles into the boiling broth and cook until done. (If they are not finished you will see a white center, the noodles turn yellow when cooked) Takes about 5 minutes to cook at the thickness that I roll the noodles.
• Add the worcestershire sauce and butter.
• Serve in a bowl or plate depending on if you want lots of broth or not and I recommend sprinkling parmesean cheese over the top when finished.

• Beat the egg yolks with the whole egg until very light.
• Beat in the salt and water.

• Divide dough into 2 parts.
• Roll out each part as thin as possible on a lightly floured board.
• Let stand until partially dry (like chamois skin), at least 1 hour, then roll up like a jelly roll and cut into strips of any desired width.
• Shake out strips and allow them to finish drying before using or storing them.
