Crankys Egg Noodles Recipes

EGG NOODLES

Steps:

• In a large bowl, stir together the flour and salt. Add the beaten egg, milk, and butter. Knead dough until smooth, about 5 minutes. Let rest in a covered bowl for 10 minutes.
• On a floured surface, roll out to 1/8 or 1/4 inch thickness. Cut into desired lengths and shapes.
• Allow to air dry before cooking.
• To cook fresh pasta, in a large pot with boiling salted water cook until al dente.

CRANKY'S EGG NOODLES

Steps:

• Put flour and salt in the bowl of a stand mixer with the dough hook attachment (or mound onto a clean countertop surface if you prefer to mix by hand and add the rest of the ingredients to a well in the middle). Add eggs and start mixing on low, slowly drizzling water into the bowl until the ingredients form a ball that clears the side of the bowl (no shaggy residue on the bottom of the bowl and no sticky flour/water glue on the side of the bowl). Remove the dough ball and wrap in plastic wrap; allow to rest for 30 minutes.
• Roll dough to desired thickness, dust with additional flour, and cut into noodles with a sharp knife/pizza cutter/pasta attachment/rapier wit. Dust the noodles with additional flour, separate them with your fingers, and allow them to dry slightly on a floured cookie sheet before freezing for an hour. I recommend packaging them in quart freezer bags, about 12 ounces per bag.
