This recipe has been passed down for I don't know how long ago. My Big Nana's grandmother made them and she came to the US from Ireland on the ship Cupid a long time ago. These are a family tradition and are made every Holiday in honor of our grandmothers. Read more Learning to make them are a rite of passage. Big Nana made them often during the depression for her children. My children love them. See less
Ingredients
- Dough: shopping list
- 1 C water shopping list
- 6 eggs shopping list
- 3 tsp of salt shopping list
- Enough flour to make dough really thick shopping list
- Broth: shopping list
- chicken shopping list
- chicken broth (enough to fill pot) shopping list
- Additional needed ingredients: shopping list
- 2 sticks of butter (more or less as you see fit) shopping list
How to make it
- Roll dough really thin, cut into 1.5 inch strips. (I use a pizza cutter on the dough...makes it go faster) Let the dough sit for a little while on the counter until the broth is ready. Cover with damp paper towels or hand towel.
- Boil Chicken. Strain broth and return to pot. Add chicken broth if needed. Add about 1/2 stick of butter to boiling broth.
- Put noodles a few at a time into boiling chicken broth.
- Very Important: Add butter to broth a little at a time as you add noodles so that they do not stick together.
- Salt and pepper to taste once you have the noodles in the broth. *Be careful with adding salt*
