Best 13 Homemade Egg Noodles Recipes

GRANDMA'S HOMEMADE EGG NOODLES

Steps:

• Beat eggs in a bowl using an electric mixer until combined. Add 1 cup flour and salt; beat until combined. Mix in remaining flour using a dough hook attachment until dough pulls away from the side of the bowl.
• Place dough on a floured cloth or board; knead until smooth and elastic. Divide dough into 4 equal pieces.
• Roll out dough pieces using a pasta machine or by hand to desired thickness, adding flour to keep them from sticking as needed. If using a pasta machine, start rolling pasta at a #1 setting, roll again at a #2 setting, and again at a #3 setting.
• Lay pasta sheets out on paper towels and let dry for 2 to 3 hours.
• Cut dried pasta using a pasta machine to a fettucine-sized cut; let dry once more, about 1 hour.
• Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil over high heat. Add noodles and continue to boil until tender yet firm to the bite, 5 to 7 minutes. Drain and serve as desired.

EASY HOMEMADE AMISH EGG NOODLES

Steps:

• 1. **Please note: Prep time does not include one hour rest for dough or drying time, if desired.
• 2. Place flour, salt, eggs, yolks and water in stand mixer fitted with a dough hook. If you choose, you can also do by hand. Mix on speed 2 until dough comes together, scraping sides and bottom of bowl often. After a few minutes, if it seems too dry or too wet, add water or flour a spoonful at a time, just until it comes together. You don't want a sticky dough.
• 3. When the dough forms a ball, continue to knead on speed 2 for 5 more minutes. (By hand, about 10 minutes, or until dough becomes smooth.) The dough should not be sticky. Remember, you may want it to dry out later. Wrap in Saran Wrap and place on counter at room temp. for 1 hour to rest. It should not stick to the Saran Wrap.
• 4. Flour counter top. Then remove dough from wrap and roll as close to 1/16" as possible. As you roll with each pass, turn and flip the dough to avoid sticking to the counter. Keep your work area lightly floured at all times. The thicker the dough, the chewier the noodles and the longer it will take them to cook. Ideally, you want to be able to start to see the shadow of your hand through the dough, but not so thin that you can't pick up the noodles. Thinner is better in this case.
• 5. Then, make sure your dough moves easily on the counter. With a pastry wheel or pizza cutter, cut to desired width. It doesn't matter what width, but they should all be uniform so that they cook evenly.
• 6. Transfer to cookie sheet(s) lined with waxed paper and a little loose flour and allow to dry for about an hour if using immediately. If you wish to freeze them, allow to dry for at least 2-3 hours, then place in a ziplock bag and freeze. When ready to use, drop into boiling water or boiling broth while noodles are still frozen. Do not defrost noodles first or they'll stick together.
• 7. Old country Amish women would spread these out on the table and let them dry overnight. To speed things up in today's world, I put a small 7" fan on my counter which worked beautifully in a short amount of time. Drying time varies depending on how thick or thin you rolled them.

HOMEMADE EGG NOODLES

Steps:

• Sift together the flour, salt and baking powder. Add egg yolks and mix until dry ingredients are moistened.
• Press into a ball and cut in quarters. Roll out on floured surface 1/8 to 1/4 inch thick; cut to desired width and length. Lay on linen dish towel or wooden dowel to dry.
• Add to broth such as chicken or turkey and cook until done.

HOMEMADE EGG NOODLES, THE OLD-FASHIONED WAY

Steps:

• Starting with approximately 1/2 to 1 cup of flour per egg, make a mound of flour with a nest in the middle on a large pastry board or flat surface.
• Sprinkle with the pinch of salt.
• Mix the eggs and water in a bowl until well beaten. Pour the egg mixture into the nest.
• Fold the flour into the eggs and knead the dough, adding flour until you achieve a soft, elastic dough that holds together, but doesn't shine, until it "feels right.".
• Let the dough set for about 10 minutes. (at room temperature).
• Roll out in batches to 1/8 inch thick or less (It expands when it cooks) -- make sure there is still flour on the board or flat surface you are using to roll out your noodles -- and cut in strips, as narrow or wide as you prefer. (caution: more than 3/4 inch wide strips becomes like dumplings when you cook them) [if you have a pasta press, this last part is much easier, and less messy, but in some ways less of the traditional fun, too].
• If possible let the cut noodles dry for about 10 minutes before adding them to the boiling broth in which you are going to cook them (water works, too).
• If you are too eager, you can just throw them in the soup as you cut them, but they will expand into thicker, softer noodles, if you do. [my family loves them both ways, with frozen peas added after the last noodles go into the pot.]
• It only takes 3-5 minutes for fresh noodles to cook, unless you didn't roll them out thin enough. Then it might take 7-8.
• Enjoy!

BEST-EVER HOMEMADE EGG NOODLES

Steps:

• In a large bowl combine the flour with salt.
• Add in eggs, milk and soft butter; mix to combine, then knead until smooth (this should take you about 5-6 minutes).
• Cover with a clean tea towel and allow to rest for 10 minutes in the bowl.
• Flour your work surface.
• Place the dough on the surface.
• Using a lightly-floured rolling pin roll out to about 1/8-inch thickness or as thin as possible.
• Using a pizza cutter slice the dough into desired size strips (I do mine about 1/2-inch).
• Allow the strands to air-dry on the counter uncovered before cooking (this should take about 30 minutes or until no longer moist and sticky).
• If not using the noodles right away, toss with a small amount of flour and store covered in refrigerator until ready to use.
• The cooking time for fresh noodles takes much lesss time than dry.

HOMEMADE CHICKEN NOODLE SOUP WITH HAND-MADE EGG NOODLES

Steps:

• Wash your hands, remove any rings and get ready to get messy.
• Noodles: Break warmed eggs into a large bowl. Add 3/4 of the flour and mix with a wooden spoon until most of the flour is combined with the eggs. "Squish" dough through your fingers. Dough will probably be pretty sticky. Add a little more flour. Continue squishing through your fingers and kneading dough and adding small amounts of flour until dough is no longer sticky. You can add a little water if you get it too dry. The key here is to have the dough just to the point of not being sticky.
• Let dough rest 20-30 min (allows gluten to develop).
• Meanwhile, start broth and water boiling. Slice carrot, celery and onion and chop chicken. Add vegetables, chicken, garlic powder, onion powder and parsley to broth.
• Take rested dough and run through your pasta machine to desired thickness and cut into 1/4" wide noodles (if you don't have one, that's OK -- skip to the next step!). Cut noodles to desired length. Separate noodles and lay out to dry until veggies are tender.
• No pasta machine? Wipe down your counter and dry thoroughly. Dust a 1 foot circular area with all-purpose flour. Place rested dough on floured counter. Knead gently a few times. Re-flour counter and dough. Knead until pasta is smooth. Roll out with a rolling pin to 1/8" thick and cut into 1/4" thick strips with a sharp knife or pizza cutter(don't cut the counter). Cut to desired length. Separate noodles and lay out to dry until veggies are tender.
• When veggies are tender, add noodles and allow to boil 3-5 minutes until tender.
• Season with salt and pepper as desired.
• Portions can be frozen for later, if desired.
• ENJOY!

• Gradually add enough flour (I use my hands) until dough forms a ball and can be handled without sticking.
• Divide dough into 2 balls; roll each ball very, very thin-paper thin-on a floured surface (if you do not roll out thin your noodles will take forever to dry and cook through) let sit 20 minutes.
• Slice vertically 1/8" wide for thinner noodles or 1/4" for wide noodles (I use a pizza cutter or pastry cutter), then horizontally to desired length.
• Sprinkle with more flour and spread apart so they are not touching, let dry at least 2 hours.

MAMAS HOMEMADE EGG NOODLES

Steps:

• 1. On a bread board or in a large bowl, make a mound of the flour with a hollow in the middle. Beat milk, eggs, and salt together with a fork. Place in the hollow spot. Mix together from the outside in toward the center until you have a stiff dough. Let set for 5 minutes or so, no longer than 10 minutes, then roll out in two batches, as thin as you can. Keep flouring the dough as needed to keep dough from sticking to rolling pin. Roll up very tightly. Slice the rolled dough into thin strips. Separate at once and hang over a broomstick, or spread out on a table. Let dry 2 hours. Ten minutes before serving, drop into gently boiling broth, stirring constantly so that the noodles do not stick together. Noodles will be ready to serve when no longer doughy the clinging flour on the noodles will thicken the broth.
• 2. I have my own recipe that was passed down from my Grandmother, to Mother. To make the dough, I mix 1 egg to each 1/2 cup of flour for breads, with about 2 tablespoons of whole milk to bind. The dough should be placed on a well floured white sheet. Roll out the dough to about 1/8 inch circle. Flour the top of the rolled dough, and cover with the other side of the sheet to dry. Depending on humidity, dry from 3 to 5 hours. Roll the dough from one side to the other like you would cookie dough. Using a sharp knife, from one side of the rolled dough, cut slices of about 1/4 inch each. Shake out coils of dough, and break into smaller pieces if desired. Then you will add the noodles to the boiling broth, bring to a boil, stirring continuously, reduce heat to simmer, cover and cook for about 30 to 40 minutes to absorb the broth and increase the size of the noodles. Stir occasionally to keep from sticking the the bottom of the pan. If you don't want to cook your noodles that day, place them in freezer bags and freeze up to 3 months. To use noodles with Chicken, you can boil a whole chicken, or if you are picky like me, just boneless, skinless chicken breasts. I add about 3 quarts of water in a stock pot, add the chicken, and boil till tender (about 1 1/2 hours). I remove the chicken and place on a plate to cool. Skim the particles off the top of the "broth", add 2 cans of low fat chicken broth, 1 stick of butter or margerine to the pot, and 2 tablespoons of powdered chicken boullion to the broth. After chicken is cooled (about 20 minutes), shred into pieces. Bring broth to a boil, add the noodles and stir continuously to keep from sticking to the bottom of the pan. Add the shredded chicken. After it comes to a boil, reduce heat to simmer, and cover. Simmer for 30 to 40 minutes. You have a main course meal.
