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.

I was surprised how easy it was. I had helped my mom before she past make noodles but she never used a recipe so I was afraid but this was easy my family will be happy when I make noodles this year at Thanksgiving.

Broth is not even necessary- I made them in salted water like pasta then buttered and peppered them and served with slow cooked pork loin and sour kraut. OMG. Only thing- REALLY make them thin- they get thicker as they cook and more dumpling-like. I will use a pasta roller next time. Also, barely made enough for 5 people and two were 4 years old. ;)

I had a little bit of sour cream that needed to be used, so put it in the egg & flour then added milk to consistency. These egg noodles are the best I have ever made and/or eaten! Thanks so much for your free recipes!

I followed the recipe exactly and the dough was too fragile to handle. I noticed that other recipes said to let the dough rest and some said to knead it. The noodles were chewy. I don't know why it didn't work for me as all of the reviews were positive.

I love this recipe! I use it to make soup for my fiancee and myself. He has celiacs disease and has previously had problems finding noodles that are good for him in soup. For whatever reason this simple recipe takes very well to the substitution of All-Purpose gluten-free flour, and he was really amazed by how much he liked the noodles the first time I made this, and was even more surprised by how easy it was. So thank you very much for sharing such a simple and versatile recipe!

This recipe has been used in my family for as long as I can remember. Grandma would make this big batch, an serve over freshly mashed potatoes and with fried chicken... It is to die for and will be passed on down to my granddaughter.

After many failed attempts at making homemade noodles, this recipe and it's precise directions finally landed me and my noodle loving family the most tender yummmmy homemade noodles I've ever eaten! I even done a couple things wrong, but I've learned in the process. I did not use enough flour when rolling out and they stuck really bad but I used them anyway.. and yes roll them as thin as your can in order to avoid having to cook them much longer. Thanks for sharing this recipe!!

Exactly what I was looking for! I doubled the flour and used 3 eggs as well as buttermilk instead of milk and it was fantastic! I put them in my homemade chicken noodle soup.

 Michelle Miller (United States) says:
I have made these for years. I cut the dough into squares and use them for my chicken and noodles. I have always let them dry before boiling. I'm glad to know I can boil them before they dry.
