Description
These classic homemade egg noodles are rich, chewy, and surprisingly easy to make with just four pantry ingredients. Perfect for soups, stir-fries, or buttery sauces—this versatile base is the heart of comfort cooking.
Ingredients
2 cups all-purpose flour (plus more for dusting)
2 large eggs
½ teaspoon salt
1–2 tablespoons water (as needed)
Instructions
On a clean surface or in a mixing bowl, combine flour and salt.
Make a well in the center and crack in the eggs.
Using a fork, slowly incorporate flour into the eggs until a shaggy dough forms.
Knead for 10–15 minutes until dough is smooth and elastic.
Wrap in plastic and let rest at room temperature for 30–60 minutes.
Roll dough into thin sheets, flouring as needed.
Fold and cut into desired noodle width.
Toss noodles with extra flour to prevent sticking.
Cook in boiling salted water for 1–2 minutes. Drain and serve immediately.
Notes
-
You can use semolina for extra chew.
Freeze cut noodles flat, then transfer to freezer bags.
For richer noodles, add an extra yolk.
