Homemade Egg Noodles

Step 1: In a large bowl, combine 1 cup flour and remaining ingredients. With a mixer at medium speed, beat for 2 minutes, occasionally scraping bowl.

Step 2: With a wooden spoon, stir in remaining flour to make a soft dough.

Step 3: Turn dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead until smooth and elastic, about 5-10 minutes. Cover dough and let rest 30 minutes.

Step 4: Cut dough into half.

Step 5: On a lightly floured surface, using a floured rolling pin, roll half the dough out as large as you can; 14x20 or larger. Noodles will get a little thicker as they cook, so you want the dough to be rolled out fairly thin. Using a pizza cutter, cut rolled out dough into ½ inch strips for medium noodles, or cut the size the size of noodles you like.

Step 6: Place strips of noodles in a single layer on a large clean towel to dry.

Step 7: Repeat procedure with the other half of the dough.

Step 8: Let the noodles dry completely. This can take up to 4 hours or so. Drying time can depend on the temperature it is in the house. (Sometimes I make these noodles in the evening and let them dry all night).

Step 9: When noodles are dry, break them into smaller lengths and drop them into boiling broth,or liquid. Cook for about 12 minutes. Makes 1 pound of noodles.
