How to make homemade noodles

Step 1

In a medium mixing bowl, add the flour and salt. Use a fork to combine.

Step 2

Add the eggs and milk to the bowl. Use your fork to stir and combine well.

Step 3

When the dough starts to come together, turn it out onto a well-floured surface and knead lightly to form a smooth dough.

Step 4

Let the dough rest on the counter for 10 minutes.

Step 5

Divide the dough into 4 or 6 parts and roll with a rolling pin on a lightly floured surface until it is about 1/4 to 1/8 of an inch thick.

Step 6

Use a sharp knife or a pizza wheel to cut the thin dough into noodles, making them the size you prefer. Instead of rolling by hand, you can use a pasta roller to roll and cut your dough (my grandma made so many homemade noodles that she got a pasta roller at some point and used it for years).

Step 7

You can cook the noodles right away (for about 3 minutes in hot boiling water or broth if making soup) or you can let them dry overnight and then bag and store them in an air-tight container in the freezer for up to 3 months.
