Grandmas Homemade Egg Noodles Recipes

GRANDMA'S NOODLES II

Steps:

• Combine egg, salt, milk. Add flour. (For thicker noodles add baking powder to flour before mixing.) Separate into two balls.
• Roll out dough, and let stand for 20 minutes.
• Cut into strips and spread to dry--dust with a little flour. Let dry for approximately 2 hours.
• Drop into hot soup--cook for about 10 minutes.

GRANDMA'S EGG NOODLES

Steps:

• In a small bowl, combine the flour and salt. Make a well in the center. In another bowl, beat the egg yolks, egg, water and oil; pour into well. Stir to form a stiff dough., Turn dough onto a well-floured surface; knead 8-10 times. Divide into thirds. Roll each portion to 1/8-in. thickness. Cut noodles into 1/4-in. strips; cut the strips into 2-in. lengths. Cook immediately in boiling broth for 5-7 minutes or until tender; drain.

DELICIOUS HOMEMADE EGG NOODLES

Steps:

• Measure flour into bowl; make a well in the center and add egg yolks, whole egg and salt.
• With hands, thoroughly mix egg into flour.
• Add water, 1 tablespoon at a time, mixing thoroughly after each addition.
• (Add only enough water to form dough into a ball.).
• Turn dough onto well-floured board; knead until smooth and elastic, about 10 minutes.
• Cover; let rest 10 minutes.
• Divide dough into 4 equal parts.
• Roll dough, 1 part at a time, into paper-thin rectangle, keeping remaining dough covered.
• Roll rectangle around rolling pin; slip out rolling pin.
• Cut dough cross-wise into 1/8-inch strips for narrow noodles and 1/4-inch for wide noodles.
• Shake out strips and place on towel to dry, about 2 hours.
• When dry, break dry strips into smaller pieces.
• Cook in 3 quarts boiling salted water (1 tablespoon salt) (We use chicken broth.) 12 to 15 minutes or until tender.
• Drain thoroughly.

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!

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.
