Egg Noodles



2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1/4 tsp salt
2 eggs, beaten
1/2 cup milk
1 tablespoon butter

In a large bowl, stir together the flour and salt. Add the beaten egg, milk, and butter. Knead dough until smooth, about 5 minutes. Let rest in a covered bowl for 10 minutes.
On a floured surface, roll out to 1/8 inch thickness. Cut the noodles in desired width with a pizza cutter. You can also use small cookie cutters to cut different shapes. Lay noodles out on stacked cookie sheets and allow to air dry before cooking, 30-40 minutes (until no longer moist and sticky).
Cook pasta in a large pot with boiling salted water cook until al dente.
This is also a great quick dough for ravioli......Butternut squash with sage brown butter perhaps?? Mama B's FAV!

  1. Once you make these you will never buy noodles again! They are quick to make, and so tasty. I used them in the fettuccine carbonara recipe I posted earlier.

    PS - I boiled them for about 4-5 minutes, stiring and checking often.
