Egg Noodles




Once you taste these wonderful home made noodles you won't ever buy those dry, bland, full of nothing but air noodles in a plastic bag again. These noodles MAKE the soup, trust me!

Ingredients:

2 cups all-purpose or whole wheat flour
3 large egg yolks
1 large egg
1 teaspoon salt
1/3 to 1/2 cup water


Make a well in the center of flour in a medium bowl. Mix in egg yolks, egg and 1 teaspoon salt thoroughly. Mix in 1/3 to 1/2 cup water, 1 tablespoon at a time until dough is stiff but easy to roll.

Divide the dough into 4 equal parts. Roll one part at a time into paper thin rectangle on generously floured surface. (keep remaining dough covered) Loosely fold rectangle lengthwise into thirds. Cut crosswise into 1/8 inch strips for narrow noodles, 1/4 inch strips for wide noodles.Unfold strips and place in single layer on towels, let stand about 2 hours or until stiff and dry.

Break strips into smaller pieces. You are now ready to add the noodles to your soup.
