Home Made Egg noodles recipe

                                    Home Made  Egg noodles recipe 

Ingredients: 

• 2 cups all-purpose flour (plus more for dusting)
• 2  eggs
• ½ teaspoon salt
• 2–4 tablespoons water 
• 1 teaspoon oil 

Method:

1. Make the dough:

• On a clean countertop or in a large bowl, make a well in the Centre of the flour.
• Crack the eggs into the well. Add salt and oil (if using).
• Using a fork, gently beat the eggs and slowly incorporate the flour from the sides.
• Once it becomes too thick to mix with a fork, use your hands to knead it into a dough.

2. Knead until smooth:

• Knead the dough for about 8–10 minutes until it’s smooth and elastic.
• If the dough is too dry, add water 1 tablespoon at a time.
• Cover the dough with a damp cloth or cling film and let it rest for 30 minutes.

3. Roll out the dough:

• Divide the dough into two portions (easier to work with).
• On a floured surface, roll out one portion until it’s about 1–2 mm thick.         
• Dust with flour to prevent sticking.

4. Cut into noodles:

• Lightly flour the rolled-out sheet, then fold it over 2–3 times like a loose roll.
• Use a sharp knife to slice into thin strips (about ¼ inch or your preferred width).
• Unfold the strips and lay them out on a floured surface or tray.

5. Cook the noodles:

• Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.
• Drop the noodles in and boil for 3–5 minutes, depending on thickness.
• Drain and use immediately, or toss with a bit of oil if you plan to use them later.

Tips:

• You can dry the noodles on a rack or tray and store them in an airtight container.
• Use a pasta machine if you want even thickness and neatness.
• Add herbs or spices to the dough for extra flavor (e.g., garlic powder, pepper, parsley).
