Description
These homemade egg noodles are hearty, tender, and easy to make with just five ingredients. Perfect for soups, casseroles, or served with butter, they offer a delicious, chewy texture that's far superior to store-bought pasta.
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2 large eggs
- 1/4 cup milk
- 2 tablespoons melted butter
Instructions
- Mix the flour and salt in a large bowl or on a clean surface.
- Make a well in the center and add the eggs, milk, and melted butter.
- Use a fork to gradually incorporate the flour until a dough begins to form.
- Knead the dough on a floured surface for 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
- Cover and let the dough rest for at least 30 minutes.
- Roll out the dough thinly and cut into strips using a knife or pizza cutter.
- Let the noodles dry for 20-30 minutes before cooking.
- To cook, drop the noodles into boiling salted water and cook for 3-5 minutes, depending on thickness.
Notes
- For added flavor, mix herbs like parsley or thyme into the dough.
- Substitute whole wheat flour for a heartier noodle.
- For richer noodles, add an extra egg yolk or use cream instead of milk.
- Toss cut noodles with flour to prevent sticking while drying.
- Freeze raw noodles on a tray, then transfer to a bag for long-term storage.
