Home made noodles are something that I learned to make from a great Aunt. She would make big batches and give them away to anyone who wanted any. They take a little time to make, especially the first time, but they make great soup! Do you have any recipes passed down that you like to fix?
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 egg
- 2 tablespoons milk
- 1 can (14 ounces) broth or whatever soup you're making
- Combine flour and salt in a bowl; make a well in the center.
- Beat egg and milk; pour into well.
- Stir to form a
stiff dough. Turn onto a well-floured surface; roll out to desired thickness. *Noodles will grow during cooking, so they end up longer and fatter than when you put them into the boiling soup, so make sure you roll them a little thinner than you want the finished product.
- Cut into 1/8-in. strips. Cover and refrigerate until ready to cook.
I usually use them for chicken noodle soup, when I have time. I will also make a chickenless chicken noodle soup that is chicken broth, onions, celery, carrots, bay leaf and homemade noodles. Somehow the homemade noodles seem to really fill you up.
