For some reason, people tend to think making homemade noodles from scratch is difficult. The truth is, it is simpler than you think. I wanted to share this simple recipe on how to make homemade noodles, so you can try making them instead of picking up a package of the frozen noodles from the store.
My grandma used to tell me about making her own noodles all the time when I was young. She’d tell me about how she’d cut them into strips, and lay them over chairs to let them dry. I miss her so much!
I always like to make things from scratch, but most of the time the convenience of buying things like noodles pre-made wins. However, when it comes to this egg noodle recipe, I always use when I have the time to make them. And, anytime I make my chicken noodle soup from scratch, these noodles are a must have.
This super easy homemade egg noodles recipe requires just a few ingredients (and you don’t have to dry them over a chair). I make these fresh, and use them immediately. We’ve had users who freeze them for future use, but I’ve not personally tried that (so let us know if it works well for you).
These are delicious and have an excellent flavor. They absorb the liquid they are cooked in, so always cook them in something with flavor, such as chicken broth.
These have the consistency of dumplings, and make every recipe something special!
OK, OK, enough of me rambling on. Read on to learn how to make homemade noodles!
