  • 3 cups unbleached flour (approximately)
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

How To Make homemade egg noodles

  • Step 1
    Beat the egg yolks and water together thoroughly. Stir in the salt and flour to make a very stiff yet workable dough.
  • Step 2
    Turn out onto a floured surface and knead more flour in until the dough is soft and elastic- not sticky. Let it rest for 10-15 minutes.
  • Step 3
    Divide the dough into four balls. Roll each one out making it as thin a layer as possible. Lay each on a separate cloth to dry.
  • Step 4
    when they are dry enough not to stick together, stack them on top of each other. Using a pizza cutter, cut them lengthwise into thin strips and then cut them across the width of the dough to form thin strips. About 1 1/2 to 2 inches long.
  • Step 5
    Allow noodles to dry completely before storing them in an airtight container.
  • Step 6
    TO SERVE HOMEMADE NOODLES: Bring 3 quarts of water to a boil. Add 1 1/2 Tbsp salt and 1/2 pound noodles. Stir frequently. After water returns to boil, cook for 8 to 10 minutes. Drain and serve alone with butter, with your favorite dish or gravy! YUMMMM
