Granny's Homemade Noodles

Recipe View 2 mins In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs and water until lightly combined. (2 minutes)

Recipe View 5 mins In a large bowl, sift together the flour, salt, and baking powder. Create a well in the center of the dry ingredients. (5 minutes)

Recipe View 8 mins Pour the egg mixture into the well. Using a fork or your hands, gradually incorporate the flour into the egg mixture, working from the center outwards, until a soft, slightly sticky dough forms. (8 minutes)

Recipe View 7 mins Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 5-7 minutes, or until the dough is smooth and elastic. If the dough is too sticky, add a tablespoon of flour at a time until it reaches the desired consistency. (7 minutes)

Recipe View 1 hrs Form the dough into a ball, wrap it tightly in plastic wrap, and let it rest at room temperature for at least 30 minutes, or up to 1 hour. This allows the gluten to relax, making the dough easier to roll. (60 minutes)

Recipe View 15 mins Lightly flour a large work surface. Divide the dough in half. Roll one half of the dough out as thinly as possible, aiming for a thickness of about 1/16 inch. The thinner the noodles, the more delicate they will be. (15 minutes)

Recipe View 5 mins Once the dough is rolled out, lightly dust it with flour to prevent sticking. Fold the dough over itself several times, like a letter. (5 minutes)

Recipe View 10 mins Using a sharp knife or pizza cutter, cut the folded dough into 1/4 to 1/2 inch wide strips, depending on your desired noodle width. Unravel the cut noodles and arrange them in a single layer on a lightly floured baking sheet or clean kitchen towel. (10 minutes)

Recipe View 20 mins Repeat the rolling and cutting process with the remaining dough. (20 minutes)

Recipe View 4 hrs Allow the noodles to air dry for at least 4 hours, or up to overnight, before cooking. This will help them hold their shape when cooked. (240 minutes)

Recipe View 3 mins To cook the noodles, bring a large pot of salted water to a rolling boil. Add the noodles and cook for 2-3 minutes, or until they are tender but still slightly firm to the bite (al dente). (3 minutes)

Recipe View Drain the noodles well and serve immediately with your favorite sauce, broth, or toppings.
