Homemade Egg Noodles
Description
Homemade Egg Noodles rely on a straightforward mixture of flour, eggs, milk, oil, and salt to form a pliable dough that is kneaded until smooth. Rolling the dough thin and resting it before cutting ensures the noodles cook evenly and develop a tender bite. Boiling the noodles until fork-tender creates a mild and supple pasta ready to accompany sauces, soups, or other proteins. Their neutral flavor and adaptable form make them a useful staple for many meals.
The dough's resting period helps reduce toughness by allowing the gluten strands to relax, resulting in noodles that are more delicate. The relatively long boiling time softens the flour and egg, ensuring a satisfying chew without greasiness or toughness. Cutting the noodles to personal size preference makes this recipe flexible.
Leftover noodles can be refrigerated for several days, making them convenient to prepare ahead of time or repurpose with different sauces and dishes throughout the week.
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- ¼ cup milk
- 2 egg
- 1 tsp. canola oil or olive oil
- 2 tsp. salt
Instructions
- In a medium bowl stir together flour and salt.
- Make a “well” or depression in the center of your flour mixture.
- Pour eggs, milk and oil into the center. Mix well.
- Dough will be sticky, and it will smooth out while you knead.
- Lightly sprinkle flour onto a clean counter or tabletop surface.
- Knead dough for 5 minutes.
- Roll dough out into a large rectangle, making it as thin as you can-almost translucent is ideal if you have the arm muscles for it.
- Let noodles rest for 30 minutes, covered, to allow gluten to relax.
- Cut noodles using a sharp knife, or my favorite-a pizza cutter. Make them any size you like, for general purpose I make mine about ½” wide by 3” long.
- To prepare:
- Drop noodles into boiling water and cook for 12-14 minutes. The noodles will start to sink to the bottom and will be fork tender when they are ready.
- You can also mix these in with your favorite recipe.
Notes
- Store leftover noodles in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
