Ingredients
Scale
For the Dough
- 2 eggs
- 2 tbsp milk
- ½ tsp salt
- Pinch of pepper
- 1½ to 2 cups all-purpose flour, plus extra for rolling
Instructions
- Prepare the Dough: In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and pepper until fully combined, creating a smooth liquid base for the dough.
- Add Flour and Form Dough: Gradually add 1¼ cups of flour to the egg mixture, stirring to combine. Continue to add more flour a little at a time until the dough starts to come together and is no longer overly sticky.
- Knead the Dough: Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and knead it for about 1 minute until it forms a smooth, cohesive ball.
- Roll Out Dough: Using a rolling pin, roll the dough out very thinly on a generously floured surface, aiming for a thin and even sheet suitable for cutting noodles.
- Cut Noodles: Slice the rolled-out dough into noodles between ¼- and ½-inch wide using a pizza cutter or sharp knife.
- Cook Noodles: Gently place the cut noodles into boiling soup or salted boiling water and let cook for 10-15 minutes until tender but still slightly chewy.
- Serve: Drain the noodles if cooked in water and add to your favorite soup or enjoy as desired.
Notes
- For thinner noodles, roll the dough out even thinner and slice narrower than ¼-inch.
- Add more flour as needed while rolling to prevent sticking.
- Cook noodles directly in soup broth for more flavor or in salted water then add to dishes.
- Store unused dough wrapped in plastic in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours.
- These noodles can be dried and stored for later use if desired.
