Have you ever wondered if you could make your own homemade noodles? I am here to tell you. . . Yes! You can!
The only ingredients are eggs, salt and flour. The "tools" you need are: a bowl, a fork, a rolling pin, a sharp knife and a little time. I have even included pictures. Try it!!
(As written, this recipe will make about 3 1/2 cups (10 to 12 ounces) of noodles.)
2 eggs
1 teaspoon salt
1 - 1 1/2 cups flour
1. Break eggs in a medium bowl. Beat lightly with a fork.
2. Add salt and continue to beat; eggs will turn a darker color.
3. Add 1 cup flour and stir until dough holds together in a ball. If dough is sticky, add more flour, a little at a time until it holds together but is no longer sticky. (If you get too much flour, the dough will be crumbly and will not hold together.) Knead just until smooth and form into a flat round, about 5 inches in diameter. Generously flour both sides.
4. Generously flour table or countertop. Roll dough out until very thin. Flour the top, turn dough over and flour the other side occasionally as you roll to keep dough from sticking to the surface. Dough will be about thin enough when it is approximately 20 inches in diameter. When you have the dough rolled thin, rub flour over the surface generously.
5. Let the dough rest for about 30 minutes. Rub additional flour on both sides. This will help keep the dough from sticking to itself as you cut it.
Cut dough in half and stack halves, pulling the top half over the bottom. Lightly roll up, jellyroll style. Cut into desired widths.
6. Toss lightly to unroll. Spread out in a thin layer to dry or cook fresh in boiling broth.
