Homemade Noodles

Finally a homemade recipe that turned out great! I used the recipe for Egg Noodles found at Cooks.com. The noodles are so delicious and made plenty of leftovers. This recipe was hubby approved, but not toddler approved, just yet.

I was surprised at how simple and affordable the noodles were to make. Eggs, Flour, Salt, and Water and I was paying $3.42 for the frozen, not anymore! I separated the dough into 4 sections. I then rolled the dough onto waxed paper (lightly dusted with flour) right on the kitchen table. I used a pizza cutter to cut the noodles, and I let them dry on the waxed paper as well. The clean up was pretty easy, as most of the mess was on the waxed paper.

I heated up my homemade frozen stock, and when it was boiling I added 2 Chicken Breasts. Once the Chicken was cooked through, I removed them from the broth, and sliced about them the same size as the noodles. I brought the broth back up to a boil added in the noodles and the chicken, and let boil for about 30 minutes. I also made some brownies, just in case. I reheated a batch of Mashed Potatoes (freezer) and served the noodles right on top.

Next time I’m going to make the noodles a little smaller. We like to eat the noodles with chop sticks, and the larger noodles worked out great! James has already requested the Homemade Chicken and Noodles again. Bye Bye Frozen Noodles 🙂
