Homemade Noodles

I grew up eating Mom's homemade noodles. Is chicken noodle soup real if it isn't made with homemade noodles? Nope. Not in my book.

The problem is when I ask Mom how to make noodles she says, "you can make them with eggs, but you don't have to."  or  "You can roll them thin but you don't have to." So I'll ask, "How do you make them?" And Mom will say, "Oh, it just depends on how much time I have and when I'm serving dinner." ....not too helpful. right?

Here is a recipe that turned out just like Mom's. I began making these at 2 in the afternoon. I let them sit on the counter until 5:00 pm. You could make them first thing in the morning and let them sit on the counter all day. You could also make them up an hour before dinner... great, now I'm sounding just like Mom!

In your mixer mix:

3 eggs
1 T milk
1/4 tsp salt
pinch of pepper

Now add and mix:

1 cup flour

Now dump the sticky mixture on a well floured counter (about 1 more cup of flour). Knead until no longer sticky.

Roll the dough out until it is 1/8" thick. Take a sharp knife and cut noodle strips. The strips should be 4 inches long and less than 1/2" wide.

Let the noodles sit on counter for a few hours or all day. Then boil for 3 minutes.

I'll post my chicken noodle soup recipe soon!
