GRANDMA'S BUTTER NOODLES



Grandma's Butter Noodles image

This is my late mother-in-laws recipe for noodles -- her favorite for flavor and because they don't spring back when you roll them. At every family gathering she'd make the best Chicken and Noodles, dropping her prepared noodles into homemade chicken broth along with shredded cooked chicken, then serving them over mashed potatoes. I've made them many times and everyone loves them. When making multiple batches, and lacking counter space, I hang the rounds on clean plastic hangers to dry.

Time 2h10m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 5

2 eggs
3 tablespoons butter, melted and cooled
1 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
¼ teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon salt

Steps:

  • In a large bowl, whisk the eggs and melted butter together with a fork. Stir in the flour, baking powder and salt until dough becomes stiff. Knead on a lightly floured surface or in the bowl for a few minutes to blend completely. Divide the dough into thirds. On a lightly floured surface, roll each piece into a sheet about 1/16 of an inch thick. Place each sheet onto a dry cloth and set aside for 30 to 45 minutes to partially dry.
  • When the noodle sheets are somewhat dry, roll up one at a time into a loose spiral and cut into strips as wide as you want using a sharp knife. Spread out the noodles to dry for about 1 hour before cooking or storing in freezer containers. To use frozen noodles, thaw in the container before using.
  • To cook the noodles, drop into rapidly boiling water or broth, and cook until tender, 7 to 10 minutes.

Provided by Deep South Dish

Categories     Main Dish, Stews

Time 1h55m

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 (4-5 pound) whole hen or chicken
2 stalks of celery with leaves
1 medium onion, cut into large chunks
2 carrots, cut into large chunks
2 teaspoons of salt
1/2 cup chopped onion
1/3 cup chopped carrot
1/3 cup chopped celery
2 tablespoons chicken base (like Better than Bouillon)
Freshly cracked black pepper, to taste
Dash poultry seasoning
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme, crushed
1 (8 ounce) package fresh sliced mushrooms, optional
1 (24-ounce) package frozen egg noodles (like Reames or Grandma's) or dried Kluski noodles
1 (5 ounce) can evaporated milk
2 tablespoons cornstarch

Steps:

  • For the stock, place chicken in a large stockpot and add water to cover. Bring to a boil, skim off foam, and add celery, onion, carrots and salt. Reduce heat and simmer for about 1 hour.
  • Remove the chicken and set aside to cool. Once cooled enough to handle, remove the meat tearing into bite sized pieces and discard the bones and skin. Strain but reserve the broth, discarding the vegetables. Return the stock to the pot.
  • For the stew, add the chopped onion, carrots and celery to the stock. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat and add the chicken base, pepper, poultry seasoning and thyme. Simmer for 15 minutes.
  • Add the mushrooms and noodles. Combine the evaporated milk and cornstarch to make a slurry; stir in. Bring up to a boil, reduce heat and simmer for another 15 minutes.
  • Add the shredded chicken to the pot, simmer for another 5 to 10 minutes or until chicken is warmed through, noodles are tender and sauce is thickened.
  • Taste and adjust salt as needed.
  • May be left on a low simmer to reach desired thickness if stirred occasionally, which is what I usually do.

GRANDMA'S EASY CHICKEN AND NOODLES



Grandma's Easy Chicken and Noodles image

Grandma made two versions of this dish. For special occasions there were home made noodles and broth that cooked all day. This recipe, however, was the one she made when she was in a hurry or just making a regular meal. Nothing special, she said. But either version was so good!!!!

GRANDMA'S HOMEMADE NOODLES



Grandma's Homemade Noodles image

As a little girl, I would help Grandma Roberts make homemade noodles on Sunday mornings. We'd lay them out on tea towels to dry while we went to church. I could hardly wait to get back to Grandma's house to drop them into the hot chicken or beef broth and ladle them over my homemade mashed potatoes at dinner time! So yummy! ...

Categories     Other Side Dishes

Time 2h

Number Of Ingredients 6

3 egg yolks
1 whole egg
1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
5 Tbsp heavy cream
2 c flour (approximate)

Steps:

  • 1. Beat egg yolks and whole egg together.
  • 2. Add baking powder, salt and cream and mix well.
  • 3. I make my dough in my big Kichenaid Stand Mixer, using the dough hook. It works great!
  • 4. Add enough flour to make a really stiff dough. Knead flour in.
  • 5. Roll out really thin on a floured surface. Roll up the dough and cut into thin strips.
  • 6. Unroll strips and lay on tea towel or hang on noodle drying rack to dry. NOTE: If you want to cook them right away, they do not have to be dry. The drying is really only for making them in advance or for storing them. That having been said, the drying rack is the best way to get them completely dry for storage. My boyfriend made the one in the picture, but you can also buy them on line.
  • 7. Drop into hot boiling broth and cook until tender.
  • 8. For Beef and Noodles, I put them right into my roasting pan or crockpot for the last hour of cook time. Either dried or not. For Chicken and Noodles, I drop them right into the chicken broth mixture, without drying them. I include a little extra flour to thicken them up and then I serve them over mashed potatoes.

1 (2 to 3 pound) whole chicken, cut into pieces

GRANDMA'S HOMEMADE CHICKEN NOODLES



Grandma's Homemade Chicken Noodles image

This is an inexpensive meal for the whole family. Nice thick, homemade egg noodles in a chicken broth. My grandmother and mother both made this all the time when I was growing up and it was a household favorite.

Provided by George Cooks

Categories     Chicken

Time 25m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

3 cups flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
4 -6 eggs
1/4 cup milk
1/2 lb chicken
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
garlic
salt
pepper
chicken broth
2 tablespoons butter
parmesan cheese

Steps:

  • The chicken can be whole pieces or bite sized whatever you prefer. I like to cut chicken breast into bite sized pieces.
  • In a large soup pot boil chicken in water or chicken broth. Add garlic, salt and pepper to taste.
  • While chicken is boiling combine flour, salt and eggs into a large mixing bowl. Start with a 1/4 cup of milk and add more milk or flour to get a pie crust type consistency.
  • Roll out dough on a floured surface as thin as you like remembering that the noodles will probably double in thickness when cooking (Thinner the better in my mind). Cut the noodles with a pizza or noodle cutter. I typically cut them into 1/2 inch by 5 inch pieces.
  • If the chicken is finished cooking then add the noodles into the boiling broth and cook until done. (If they are not finished you will see a white center, the noodles turn yellow when cooked) Takes about 5 minutes to cook at the thickness that I roll the noodles.
  • Add the worcestershire sauce and butter.
  • Serve in a bowl or plate depending on if you want lots of broth or not and I recommend sprinkling parmesean cheese over the top when finished.
