Egg Noodles

The other day I needed some egg noodles to finish off dinner and found that I had run out of them. Someone who shall remain nameless and blameless evidently forget to pick them up the last time they went to the store.

Which means I had to resort to drastic measures and make my own egg noodles. I really don’t know why I don’t make them more often. They are simple and so, so good!

You can eat them with butter, drench in sauce, cover with stroganoff or mix with chicken.

The ingredients - less than five. Woohoo!

Mix ingredients, form into a doughy ball and then roll on a floured surface.

Make sure you roll your dough nice and thin.

Cut noodles into strips and let dry.

Drop noodles into a pot of boiling water and cook until tender.

Yum!

Egg Noodles

1 cup flour

1/2 tsp. baking powder

1 egg

1 eggshell of water

Crack egg into bowl with baking powder and  flour. Fill eggshell with water and dump into bowl. Stir until you have a ball of dough. Roll out on a floured surface until very thin. Cut into strips and let dry for 2 to 3 hours. I like to turn them about an hour and a half into the game so both sides get dry.

When you are ready to cook, place noodles into a medium-saucepan of boiling water (you can salt water if you like) and cook until tender, or about 12 minutes.

This recipe will make about the same amount of noodles in a standard package. Just make sure you roll these nice and thin.

Told you it was easy!

Enjoy!
