Egg Noodles
A basic recipe for egg noodles.
Ingredients
- 2 cups all purpose white flour
- 3 whole eggs
- 0.5 tsp salt
- 1 tbsp water optional
Instructions
- Begin by mixing your flour and salt together.
- Add in eggs and mix with your hands. Keep mixing until dough is no longer sticky. Add up to 1 tbsp of water if needed. Dough should be smooth and not sticky.
- Knead dough for a few minutes, then wrap in saran wrap and leave it on the counter at room temperature for about 45 minutes to rest.
- Roll out dough onto a floured surface. I like doing 1/4 of the dough at a time because my rolling surface is small. Cut out strips for noodles or other shapes depending on your preference. Can lightly dust pieces in flour to prevent sticking and place on a clean kitchen towel until you have gone through all the dough.
- Boil noodles for about 5 minutes or until done. Drain.
Notes
- This batch is on the smaller side. It can serve 4 people a moderate portion, but if you feel like hogging out then this recipe is more suitable for 2 people.
- 2 cups of pasta sauce was more than enough for this batch of noodles.
- Some recipes call for adding butter or oil into the noodles. This sounds fantastic but I have not tried it. I have only tested this basic version.
