Recipe: Homemade Real Egg Noodles

HOMEMADE REAL EGG NOODLES

3 egg yolks
1 whole egg
3 tablespoons cold water
2 cups flour
1 teaspoon salt

Beat egg yolks and whole egg slightly; add cold water. Add flour and salt to make a stiff dough.

Turn out on floured board; knead 3 to 5 minutes.

Divide dough into three parts. Roll each part out into paper-thin sheets. Place on large cloth on a table for about 1 hour to dry slightly.

Roll up like a jellyroll. Cut crosswise into 1/8-inch strips or desired thickness. Spread cut noodles on table to dry thoroughly.

Cook in boiling salted water or use in recipes.
