HOMEMADE EGG NOODLES



Homemade Egg Noodles image

Homemade egg noodles might not be as handy as dumping that box or bag of egg noodles into a steaming hot pot of boiling water. But how they make up for it in terms of taste, and texture, and even, yes, cooking time!

Categories     Pasta

Time 3h17m

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
2 egg yolks, slightly beaten
1 egg, slightly beaten
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/3 cup water
1 teaspoon cooking oil

Steps:

  • In a bowl, add flour. Make a "well" in the center of the flour.
  • Combine eggs, salt, water and oil in another bowl.
  • Add wet mixture to the well.
  • Mix together until ingredients are incorporated.
  • Flour a flat surface. Turn dough out and begin to knead the dough until it's smooth and elastic. About 8 minutes or so. (alternatively, you can use your dough hook attachment for your stand mixer.)
  • Form dough into a ball. Cover with a clean towel and let sit for 10 minutes before rolling out on a floured surface.
  • Cut noodles 1/8" thick and 1/4" wide.
  • Hang or lay on a lightly floured tea towel to dry for a couple of hours.
  • To cook, add noodles to a salted pot of water that has come to a rapid bowl. Noodles will rise to the surface in 4-7 minutes and be cooked. Stir to keep them separated.
  • Serve immediately, or add to soups or casseroles.

HOMEMADE EGG NOODLES



Homemade Egg Noodles image

It's so easy to make homemade egg noodles with just flour, salt, water and eggs -- no special equipment necessary!

Provided by Blair Lonergan

Categories     Dinner     Lunch     Side Dish

Time 2h5m

Number Of Ingredients 6

3 egg yolks
1 whole egg
3 tablespoons cold water
1 teaspoon salt
3 tablespoons canola oil (optional)
2 cups all-purpose flour

Steps:

  • Beat the yolks and egg until light. Beat in water, oil (if using), and salt. Using your hands or a wooden spoon, work in the flour until well blended and a stiff dough forms. Turn the dough onto a well-floured work surface and knead for 5-10 minutes, or until the dough is smooth, firm, and no longer sticky (adding flour as necessary while you knead). Divide dough into 3 equal portions. Cover with plastic wrap and let rest for 10 minutes. Dust the counter with flour and roll each portion of dough as thin as you like (anywhere from ¼-inch thick to paper-thin). Cover with a dish towel and let rest for 10 more minutes.
  • Sprinkle each portion of dough lightly with flour, then roll up like a jelly roll. Use a sharp knife to cut your noodles to the desired width (about ⅛-inch for fine noodles, ¼-inch for wide noodles, and ½-inch for broad (or extra wide) noodles). Open up the strips, spread them out on paper towels, and let dry. They will be ready to cook when they're no longer damp on the surface, but they're still pliable, about 40 minutes - 1 hour.
  • To cook the noodles, bring a large pot of salted water or chicken broth to a boil. Drop the noodles into the boiling liquid and cook until just tender (but not too soft), about 2-10 minutes, depending on the thickness of your noodles.

MAMAS HOMEMADE EGG NOODLES

Depression Era Recipe

Provided by Penny Hall

Categories     Other Side Dishes

Time 1h

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 cup, plus 1 rounded tablespoon flour
2 tablespoons milk
1 egg, plus 1 yoke
1/2 teaspoon salt
broth from, chicken or other stock

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.

Time 1h

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

2 tablespoons butter
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 large Vidalia onion, chopped
2 celery stalks, halved lengthwise and cut into 3/4-inch pieces
2 medium carrots, halved lengthwise and cut into 3/4-inch pieces
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 cloves garlic, chopped
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
6 cups chicken stock

2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cubed into bite-size pieces
4 ounces egg noodles, about 1 cup
8 ounces frozen peas
1/4 cup freshly chopped dill leaves

Steps:

  • Melt the butter in a large Dutch oven over medium heat and add the olive oil. Add the onion, celery and carrots and saute until soft, about 4 minutes. Season with salt and pepper, to taste. Stir in the chopped garlic and saute until fragrant, 1 minute more. Whisk in the flour and stir frequently until it coats the vegetables and makes a paste. Cook until it reaches a pale blonde color, about 2 minutes. Gradually whisk in the chicken stock, making sure there are no lumps. Add the bay leaf, hot sauce, and Worcestershire and season with salt and pepper, to taste. Let the soup simmer for 15 minutes to thicken and develop the flavors.
  • Reduce the heat and add the chicken and the noodles. Do not boil the chicken or it will become tough. Add the peas and the dill and simmer gently for 10 more minutes.
  • Taste for seasoning and add more salt and pepper, if needed. Ladle the soup into serving bowls and serve.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients: The quality of your ingredients will greatly affect the taste of your noodles. Use fresh, organic eggs, and high-quality flour.
  • Knead the dough properly: Kneading the dough is an important step in making egg noodles. It helps to develop the gluten in the dough, which gives the noodles their chewy texture. Knead the dough for at least 5 minutes, or until it is smooth and elastic.
  • Let the dough rest: After kneading the dough, let it rest for at least 30 minutes. This will allow the gluten to relax and make the dough easier to roll out.
  • Roll out the dough thinly: The thinner you roll out the dough, the more delicate the noodles will be. If you are using a pasta machine, roll the dough out to the thinnest setting.
  • Cut the noodles into the desired shape: You can cut the noodles into any shape you like. Some popular shapes include thin strips, fettuccine, and angel hair.
  • Cook the noodles in plenty of boiling water: Make sure to use a large pot of boiling water when cooking the noodles. This will help to prevent them from sticking together.
  • Cook the noodles until they are al dente: Al dente means "to the tooth" in Italian. It refers to the ideal texture for cooked pasta, which is slightly firm to the bite.
  • Drain the noodles and rinse them with cold water: After cooking the noodles, drain them in a colander and rinse them with cold water. This will help to stop the cooking process and prevent the noodles from sticking together.

Conclusion:

Homemade egg noodles are a delicious and versatile dish that can be used in a variety of recipes. They are also relatively easy to make, and with a little practice, you can create perfect egg noodles every time. So next time you're looking for a new and exciting pasta dish, give homemade egg noodles a try.
