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.

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

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.
