Oodles of Noodles
My mom made the most delicious noodles using our own farm-fresh eggs. She rolled out the dough paper-thin on our big dining room table.—Karen Ann Bland, Gove, Kansas9 ServingsPrep: 50 min. + standing Cook: 15 min.
Ingredients
- 3-1/4 to 3-1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 3/4 teaspoon salt
- 6 eggs, beaten
Directions

- Turn dough onto a floured surface; knead for 3-4 minutes or until
- smooth, adding remaining flour if necessary.
- Divide into nine portions; cover and let rest for 15 minutes. Roll
- each portion into a 12-in. x 5-in. rectangle. Roll up jelly-roll
- style, starting with a short side; cut into 1/4-in.-thick strips.
- Unroll noodles and allow to dry on kitchen towels for 1 hour before
- cooking.

Editor’s Note: After drying, noodles may be stored in the freezer for up to 2 months if desired. Using waxed paper, store noodles in layers in an airtight container. Frozen noodles are ready to cook.
