Ingredients
  • Dough:
  • 1 C water
  • 6 eggs
  • 3 tsp of salt
  • Enough flour to make dough really thick
  • Broth:
  • Chicken
  • Chicken broth (enough to fill pot)
  • Additional needed ingredients:
  • 2 sticks of butter (more or less as you see fit)

Directions
  1. 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.
  2. Boil Chicken. Strain broth and return to pot. Add chicken broth if needed. Add about 1/2 stick of butter to boiling broth.
  3. Put noodles a few at a time into boiling chicken broth.
  4. Very Important: Add butter to broth a little at a time as you add noodles so that they do not stick together.
  5. Salt and pepper to taste once you have the noodles in the broth. *Be careful with adding salt*

I love these kind of recipes. Its what I am here for. It brings back memories of my Grandmother's famous chicken and noodles. Thank you for sharing this. My mouth is watering.....;-)~ Jim


Thank you Jim! If I had only one last meal, these are what I'd want. Deb, I just read your comment, and the secret to making these egg noodles work is letting them air-out on the counter before dropping them into the broth. They stay more chewy instead of doughy like dumplings. Thank you everyone for commenting.
