Amish Egg Noodles Recipe Cdkitchen Com

Instructions

1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour and salt. Make a well in the center of the mixture, then crack the eggs into the well.

2. Use a fork to gently beat the eggs while gradually incorporating the flour from the edges of the well.

3. Continue mixing until a dough starts to form. Add the water gradually, a little at a time, until the dough comes together. You may not need to use all of the water, so add it slowly to avoid making the dough too sticky.

4. Once the dough has formed, transfer it to a floured surface and knead it for about 5-10 minutes, or until it becomes smooth and elastic.

5. Shape the dough into a ball and cover it with a clean kitchen towel. Let it rest for about 20-30 minutes to allow the gluten to relax.

6. After resting, roll out the dough on a floured surface until it is about 1/8 inch thick. If you prefer thicker noodles, you can roll it out to your desired thickness.

7. Using a sharp knife or a pizza cutter, cut the rolled-out dough into thin strips to create the noodles. You can make them as wide or thin as you like.

8. Once you have cut all the noodles, gently toss them with a little flour to prevent sticking.

9. To cook the noodles, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Carefully drop the noodles into the boiling water and stir gently to prevent sticking.

10. Cook the noodles for about 5-7 minutes, or until they are tender but still slightly firm to the bite. Avoid overcooking them, as they can become mushy.

11. Once the noodles are cooked, drain them in a colander and rinse them briefly with cold water to stop the cooking process.

12. Serve the Amish Egg Noodles hot with your favorite sauce, broth, or alongside a comforting dish. Enjoy the homemade goodness!
