Homemade Noodles/How to Instructions

Making noodles from scratch is not hard. They can either be used fresh or frozen for later. 

Beat together in mixing bowl until smooth:

• 3 egg yolks
• 1 whole egg
• 1/4 cup cold water
• 1 teaspoon salt ( decrease salt if you are adding bullion cubes or paste in the broth you will use to boil the noodles.) 

Add and stir in:

• 2 cups flour (white or whole wheat - or a combination of both)

Note: This dough will be quite stiff so if you are using a mixer. You may want to finish mixing by hand. If dough becomes too stiff just add a little more water. 

Place dough on floured pastry cloth and knead with hands until it forms a smooth ball.  

Roll out until it is the desired thickness for your noodles. Sprinkle dough with flour to keep from stick to rolling pin. 

You can cut the dough in strips at this point or sprinkle again with flour and roll up into a roll and slice to desired width. (The added flour will help thicken your broth.)

 Shake out strips to separate. You can cut them into bite sized pieces or leave in long strips. These noodles are ready to cook at this point or you can freeze them for later. Let them simmer in prepared soup or broth for 15 - 20 minutes until done.  

Note:  These noodles are especially good prepared in chicken or beef soup. You will have more flavor if you brown your meat with diced onions and garlic in olive oil before you add water to make your broth. They can also be a side dish if you boil and drain them. Serve with butter, cheese sauce or whatever you desire.
