Easy Homemade Egg Noodles

{Simple Homemade Egg Noodles} 

I got this recipe from Amanda, for a few years she has been telling me how simple and great these are. I have tried to make noodles before and it was anything but simple, so I avoided making these thinking it would be hard but this week I tried it and she was right! It was so easy; it took just a few minutes to make the dough and have them ready to cook. She was also right about the taste, they are awesome!

{Ingredients} 

3 Eggs

3 Egg shells full of water (I know this isn't a great measurement but this recipe was handed down from an amazing cook who never measures anything)

Ground pepper

3 Cups of flour, with extra for dusting

Broth- whatever flavor you desire, enough to boil your noodles so this will depend on your pot size

{Directions}

• Crack 3 eggs into a bowl; pour 3 egg shells full of water into the eggs
• Add ¼ teaspoon of pepper or more, depending on your taste

• Beat eggs briefly
• Mix the flour in with a fork, when dough starts to form add the remaining flour and knead until the flour is worked in. If sticky, add a little more flour.

• Put a pot of your desired broth on the stove to boil
• Sprinkle the counter top with plenty of flour, pour out the dough and sprinkle it with more flour.

• Roll flat; I would suggest rolling it very, very thin! I didn't roll mine thin enough and my noodles were very thick.
• Sprinkle the rolled out dough with flour and roll the dough (cinnamon roll style)

• Cut into ½ inch strips

• Unroll strips and place them in boiling broth

• Cook for 20 minutes

The more flour that is on the noodles the more gravy like your broth will become in the end. Add chicken/beef and vegetables for a soup or put whatever you want on top of the noodles!
