Noodles
List of Ingredients
NOODLES
6 egg yolks
1 cup of water
1 and 1/2 teaspoons of salt
Butter (real butter!) -- the size of a large egg (softened)
flour
Recipe
Beat egg yolks in mixing bowl. Stir in butter and salt. Add water. Then, add flour, a little at a time, until you have a nice soft dough. Knead on floured board. Keep hands lightly buttered and knead until dough is smooth and glossy.
Divide this dough into about three or four amounts. (Depending on how many noodles you want to cook.) Roll out one amount until nice and thin. Let dry on board for about twenty minutes.
Roll dough up (jelly-like roll) and with a sharp knife cut into thin strips. If short noodles are desired, cut through the roll before shaking the pieces loose.
Drop in boiling broth and stir while dropping them using a long-handled cooking fork. Let come to a boil, and then turn heat low and let simmer for about five to ten minutes (covered).
NOTE: What dough you don't use can be frozen. I freeze the divided amounts in sandwich bags (two to a bag), and then place these sandwich bags in a larger one and tie. I used to double my recipe so I could freeze some 'for a rainy day.'
ANOTHER NOODLE METHOD: Use two tablespoons of cream (real!) to every egg yolk. This is very tasty, too.
