Homemade Egg Noodles Recipe (Print Format)
Fresh homemade egg noodles made with just 5 simple ingredients. Perfect for soups and pasta dishes in under an hour.
# Ingredients:
01 -
1 large egg
02 -
2 egg yolks
03 -
3 tablespoons cold water
04 -
1 teaspoon salt
05 -
2 cups all-purpose flour
# Steps:
01 -
In a medium bowl, whisk together the whole egg, egg yolks, and cold water until everything is smooth and well combined.
02 -
Stir in the salt, then gradually add the flour while mixing until a rough, shaggy dough starts to form. Don't worry if it looks messy at first.
03 -
Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and knead for 8-10 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic. Add a little more flour if the dough feels too sticky to handle.
04 -
Wrap the dough tightly in plastic wrap and let it rest at room temperature for 30 minutes. This relaxes the gluten and makes rolling much easier.
05 -
Divide dough into 2 pieces. Roll each portion into a thin sheet about 1/8 inch thick. Use a sharp knife or pasta cutter to slice into thin strips for noodles. Dust with flour to prevent sticking.
06 -
Let the cut noodles sit for 15-20 minutes to dry slightly if you want firmer pasta texture. This step is totally optional though.
07 -
Bring a large pot of salted water to a rolling boil. Add noodles and cook for just 2-3 minutes until tender. Drain immediately and serve with your favorite sauce or in soup.
