I was given a recipe for "Easy Noodles" many years ago.
1 cup flour
1 egg
1/4 cup milk
I will season the flour pretty well..... salt maybe seasoned salt, pepper, Garlic powder. I will add dry Bouillon powder too.
If you don't season the flour pretty well the noodles are pretty tasteless.
Make a well in the flour add a slightly beaten egg and the milk.
Mix until combined.
Flip out onto a floured surface & kneed until the dough is not sticky.
Roll out with rolling pin to the thickness you want, I roll to about 1/8" (remember that the egg will cause them to "plump" some).
Use a Pizza cutter to cut into strips.
If you leave a little thicker about 1/4" thick & cut onto more square shape it will be more dumplin like.
Drop a few at a time into boiling broth. We have used Chicken, Turkey & Beef to make the broth. ALL are good.
Push down with back of spoon. Don't stir too much. Want to keep liquid almost boiling as you add.
Boil about 5 minutes after last addition.
I will add a little Corn Starch & water to the broth to make it a little thicker.
These do not need to be dried before using.

Re: Easy Noodles or Dumplins.
Pretty close to the recipe I learned from my grandmother but she used half an egg shell of milk rather than an exact measure.

Re: Easy Noodles or Dumplins.
My grandmother taught me the exact same recipe. Or cream, if she was feeling decadent.

Since they always had a Jersey to milk, the milk she used was very high on the cream content.Steve Broady wrote: ↑Wed Mar 29, 2023 12:58 pmMy grandmother taught me the exact same recipe. Or cream, if she was feeling decadent.
