Homemade Noodles
- 3- 1/2 cups All-purpose Flour
- 2 Tablespoons Salt
- 6 whole Eggs Plus 1/3 Cup Of Water
- 1 whole Beef Roast, Cooked Slowly, Or Whole Chicken, Cooked (See Note Below)
- 1 whole Good-sized Roast, Preferably Chuck For Flavor
- 14 ounces, fluid Swanson's Beef Broth
- 1/2 whole Onion
- Garlic Powder, To Taste
- 1 whole Chicken
- Garlic Powder, To Taste
- Note: you will need to decide if you would like Beef and Noodles or Chicken and Noodles.
- My favorite is beef.
- To cook the beef, place the roast in a crock pot and pour in the beef broth, enough water to cover the roast, the onion, salt, pepper and garlic powder to taste.
- Cook until tender.
- For chicken, use a whole chicken seasoned with salt, pepper, garlic powder, all to taste.
- You will need to debone and throw away the skin.
- Meanwhile:
- Mix the flour and salt into a bowl.
- Make a well.
- Beat the eggs and water.
- Place into the well.
- Now, the best way to make this is to use your hands.
- Start mixing the wet and dry ingredients together with your hands.
- Its going to be stickyif you have added too much flour, then you need more eggs.
- After you have mixed the dough together, place onto a floured surface.
- Use plenty of flour on your surface.
- Begin to roll out the noodles, making sure you lift up and place flour underneath the dough.
- Roll out to 1/4 thickness.
- Cutting the noodles:
- After it is completley rolled out, I use a pizza cutter to cut the noodles (Pampered Chef has a great one).
- Note: you can purchase noodle cutters, either machine or by hand.
- Remember this is a labor of love, and machines will rip this doughits very tender.
- A knife or pizza cutter works best.
- Cut into 3 sections horizontally, and then begin cutting vertically.
- The width of the strips are up to you.
- I make mine about 1/4 wide.
- The noodles will expand.
- After your beef or chicken is cooked, place the broth plus about 3 cups of water into a large pot.
- Check for taste, it may need salt and pepper.
- Make sure the broth is at a slow rolling boil.
- Use a thin spatula to begin to pull the noodles apart from the rolling surface.
- It may be sticky, and if so, use some flour.
- Drop the noodles in one at a time.
- They will begin to cook.
- After all the noodles are in the pot, if you need to add more water or canned broth, do so.
- The flour from the noodles will thicken the broth.
- No thickener is needed.
- How long to cook the noodles?
- Cook them on low on the stove for about 2 hours.
- They can be placed into a crock pot for transport.
- Cook until tender.
- Place meat on top or serve on the side with mashed potatoes.
