GRANDMA'S BUTTER NOODLES



Grandma's Butter Noodles image

This is my late mother-in-laws recipe for noodles -- her favorite for flavor and because they don't spring back when you roll them. At every family gathering she'd make the best Chicken and Noodles, dropping her prepared noodles into homemade chicken broth along with shredded cooked chicken, then serving them over mashed potatoes. I've made them many times and everyone loves them. When making multiple batches, and lacking counter space, I hang the rounds on clean plastic hangers to dry.

Time 2h10m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 5

2 eggs
3 tablespoons butter, melted and cooled
1 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
¼ teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon salt

Steps:

  • In a large bowl, whisk the eggs and melted butter together with a fork. Stir in the flour, baking powder and salt until dough becomes stiff. Knead on a lightly floured surface or in the bowl for a few minutes to blend completely. Divide the dough into thirds. On a lightly floured surface, roll each piece into a sheet about 1/16 of an inch thick. Place each sheet onto a dry cloth and set aside for 30 to 45 minutes to partially dry.
  • When the noodle sheets are somewhat dry, roll up one at a time into a loose spiral and cut into strips as wide as you want using a sharp knife. Spread out the noodles to dry for about 1 hour before cooking or storing in freezer containers. To use frozen noodles, thaw in the container before using.
  • To cook the noodles, drop into rapidly boiling water or broth, and cook until tender, 7 to 10 minutes.

2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour

Steps:

  • In a large bowl, stir together the flour and salt. Add the beaten egg, milk, and melted butter, and coluring. Knead dough until smooth, about 5 minutes. If you have to add extra flour for a nice baby bum soft dough then do so now. You want a smooth soft, but not sticky to the counter dough. Let rest in a covered bowl for 10 minutes. I usually leave on a floured board with the bowl inverted on top.
  • 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.
