Homemade Noodles

Prep Time 30 min
Cook Time 5 min
Yield 10 servings

Ingredients

  • 2 to 2-1/2 cups all-purpose flour, divided
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 3 large eggs, lightly beaten
  • 1 tablespoon cold water
  • 1 tablespoon canola oil

Directions

  1. Place 2 cups flour and salt on a pastry board or in a deep bowl. Make a well in a center of the flour; add eggs and water. Gradually mix with hands or a wooden spoon until well blended.
  2. Gather into a ball and knead on a floured surface until smooth, about 10 minutes. If necessary, add remaining flour to keep dough from sticking to surface or hands. Divide the dough into thirds. On a lightly floured surface, roll each section into a paper-thin rectangle. Dust top of dough with flour to prevent sticking while rolling. Trim the edges and flour both sides of dough.
  3. Roll dough, jelly-roll style. Using a sharp knife, cut 1/4-in. slices. Unroll noodles and allow to dry on paper towels before cooking.
  4. To cook, bring salted water to a rapid boil. Add 1 tablespoon oil to the water; drop noodles into water and cook until tender but not soft, about 7-10 minutes.
