Create delicious golden egg noodles from scratch using just 5 pantry staples. These versatile noodles can be a perfect match for your favorite soups, sauces, or stir-fries. Plus, they can be made in advance and stored in the freezer for busy weeknights.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, salt, and baking powder.
2
Make a well in the center of the flour mixture and pour the beaten eggs into it.
3
Use a fork to gradually incorporate the flour into the eggs, gradually adding the milk as you go. You may not need all the milk, so reserve the last tablespoon or two and only add if necessary to form a smooth, firm dough.
4
On a floured surface, knead the dough for a few minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic.
5
Cover the dough with a kitchen towel and let it rest for 30 to 60 minutes at room temperature.
6
Divide the dough into four equal portions. On a floured surface, use a rolling pin to roll each portion out to a thickness of about 1/16 inch.
7
Cut the dough into long strips, about 1/2 inch wide, and then cut those strips into 3-inch pieces.
8
Dust the noodles with a little extra flour to prevent them from sticking together as they dry.
9
Bring a large pot of water to a rolling boil. Add the noodles in small batches, stirring gently to keep them separated. Cook for 2 to 4 minutes, or until tender, testing a noodle every minute or so.
10
Drain the cooked noodles and serve hot with your choice of sauce, soup, or stir-fry preparation. They also pair well with just a touch of butter, salt, and pepper, or your preferred herbs.
