EASY HOMEMADE EGG NOODLES 
This makes a small batch. Double the recipe if making a large pot or triple for a crowd. The milk makes the noodles so tender they melt in your mouth!

1 cup all-purpose flour
1 egg
1/2 egg shell of milk

Place flour in a small bowl, making a dent in the center. Carefully the crack egg shell - put egg in the center of the flour. Use 1/2 of the egg shell you just cracked, fill it with milk and stir into the flour and egg mixture using a fork. Dough needs to be slightly sticky and form a ball, so if needed, add just a touch more milk until the right consistency.

On a well floured bread board or surface, carefully roll out the dough until very, very thin (almost paper thin). Dough will be stretchy and very tender. Using a Pizza cutter, cut the dough into thin noodles -length of your choice. It is okay if the noodles are not perfect and it is not necessary to dry the noodles.

Slowly sprinkle and stir the cut noodles into rapidly boiling chicken or beef broth mixture (see below for broth suggestions) it is important to put the noodles in this way - so they do not stick together in a lump. Turn down heat and keep broth mixture at a low boil and cook noodles until tender (approx. 1/2 hour). Stir constantly while adding the noodles and frequently while cooking to prevent sticking.

Recommendations for broth: Cook cubed chicken or beef in canned broth or bullion and water (enough to cover everything in the pot) in a large pot until tender with chopped vegetables of your choice - onions, carrots, and celery work best, add color and flavor. Add salt, pepper, and parsley for spice. Cook at a low boil until meat and vegetables are done and meat is tender. Bring mixture to a high boil before adding noodles.

This is wonderful served as a hearty stew or main dish. Also good served with mashed potatoes.

Great instructions. Most recipes have similar ingredients, but people don't realize how important it is to add the noodles to broth in this manner.

This recipe is exactly what I was looking for! Did not realize the importance of rapid boil noodle addition to broth. I cut my noodles thicker and it was great. Thank you!

This recipe is great! My grandmother used to make these noodles, and I've been asked to recreate her noodles for Christmas, but couldn't totally remember how. I remember now that this was exactly how she made them, down to the 1/2 shell of milk. Thank you!

My Grandmother also made us homemade noodle in upstate New York. I always make these noodles at Christmas. I get beef marrow bones at the store and boil them for several hours slowly. Drain out the bones of course. and then cook as you had recommended. My sister likes hers a little thicker than I do.
Here in Florida I found that when i make them I freeze them. Grandma use to leave them in the oven with just the piolt light on to dry them and "blanch" them before cooking. We all be enjoying them tomorrow with memories.

I have looked for many recipes, but this one is very easy and explains very well. I really liked it because I needed a small recipe since I usually only make it for 2 to 4 people and all the others make way too many noodles.

I have never used milk. Does it have to be whole milk? Also has anyone ever used a small amt of oil ? It makes the roll out easier.

Very good recipe. I added a half tsp olive oil and a pinch of salt. That enhanced the already good taste and made it a bit easier to work with. Also excellent added to asian stir fry. Good show Diane!
