Delicious Homemade Egg Noodles

Ingredients

  • 2 cups flour
  • 3 egg yolks
  • 1 egg
  • 2 teaspoons salt
  • 1/4-1/2 cup water

Method

  1. Place the flour in a bowl, creating a well in the middle. Add the egg yolks, whole egg and salt into this well.
  2. Use your hands to work the egg mixture completely into the flour.
  3. Incorporate the water gradually, adding just one tablespoon at a time and mixing well after each addition.
  4. Add only the amount of water required to bring the mixture together into a cohesive ball of dough.
  5. Transfer the dough ball onto a surface generously dusted with flour. Knead it for about 10 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic.
  6. Cover the dough and allow it to rest for 10 minutes.
  7. Separate the rested dough into four equal portions.
  8. Working with one portion at a time and keeping the rest covered, roll the dough out into a very thin, paper-like rectangle.
  9. Carefully roll the thin rectangle of dough around your rolling pin, then slide the pin out from the centre.
  10. Slice the rolled dough crosswise to create strips, cutting them 1/8-inch wide for narrow noodles or 1/4-inch for wider ones.
  11. Separate the strips and lay them out on a clean towel to dry for about 2 hours.
  12. Once the noodle strips are completely dry, break them into smaller, more manageable pieces.
  13. Cook the noodles in 3 quarts of rapidly boiling salted water (or chicken broth with 1 tablespoon salt) for 12 to 15 minutes, until they are tender.
  14. Remove the cooked noodles from the heat and drain them well.
