How to Make Egg Noodles

from wikiHow - The How to Manual That You Can Edit
Egg noodles are easy to make, and you can freeze them to save for later.

Ingredients

3 cups of Flour
4 Large Eggs
Pinch of Salt

Steps

In a large bowl put 2-3 cups of flour. Clear a small hole in the middle to make a cone-shaped well. This will make it easy to mix the wet ingredients into the dough.
Add a pinch of salt to the flour.
Crack 2 eggs into the cone-shaped well.
Take a spoon and mix thoroughly, but not aggressively. If you don't mind getting sticky, clean hands can mix the dough even more effectively.
You'll know the dough is ready when it comes to the texture of wet Play-DohTM. You should then wrap it in plastic and let it set for 20 minutes, so that the gluten can relax. This will make it easier for you to work.
Put some flour on your counter. This will keep the noodle dough from sticking to your work surface.
Take the dough out of the bowl. Roll out the dough with a rolling pin, working from the middle out, then from the middle in.
When the dough is about a quarter of an inch thick, cut the dough into strips with a pizza cutter or a large knife.
Cook the noodles in boiling water or chicken broth until they float.
Finished.

Tips

For easier cutting, flour the dough after it has been rolled out into a sheet. Then roll or fold the dough up into a cylinder. Cut crosswise in thin discs. Unroll each of the discs to get your noodles.
Add noodles to chicken broth with some chicken and veggies (after the veggies are cooked) and you have chicken noodle soup!

Warnings

Don't add too much liquid, or they'll become gooey.
