Description

This Homemade Egg Noodles recipe yields tender, fresh noodles made from simple pantry ingredients like flour, eggs, milk, and butter. With a straightforward dough preparation and quick cooking time, these noodles are perfect for soups, stir-fries, or as a side dish. The recipe involves mixing, kneading, rolling, cutting, and boiling, resulting in classic egg noodles with a delicate texture.

Ingredients

For the Dough

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/4 cup milk
  • 1 tbsp melted butter

Instructions

  1. Make the Dough: In a mixing bowl, combine the flour and salt. Create a well in the center and add the eggs, milk, and melted butter. Stir together until a shaggy dough starts to form.
  2. Knead the Dough: Transfer the dough onto a floured surface and knead it for 8 to 10 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic. Cover the dough with a cloth or plastic wrap and allow it to rest for 20 to 30 minutes to relax the gluten.
  3. Roll Out the Dough: Divide the rested dough into two equal portions. Roll each portion out on a floured surface to about 1/8-inch thickness, creating thin sheets of dough ready to be cut.
  4. Cut the Noodles: Using a sharp knife or pasta cutter, slice the rolled dough into your desired noodle shapes, typically thin strips for classic egg noodles.
  5. Dry (Optional): Spread the cut noodles on a floured surface and let them dry for 1 to 2 hours if you do not plan to cook them immediately. This can help improve texture and prevent sticking.
  6. Cook the Noodles: Bring a large pot of salted water or broth to a boil. Add the fresh noodles and cook for 2 to 4 minutes until tender but still slightly firm. Drain well and serve hot.

Notes

  • Resting the dough is crucial for easier rolling and better noodle texture.
  • Use a rolling pin or pasta machine to achieve even, thin sheets of dough.
  • Fresh egg noodles cook much faster than dried ones; keep an eye to avoid overcooking.
  • You can freeze the dried noodles for longer storage.
  • Boiling in broth instead of plain water adds extra flavor.
