- Classic comfort: These egg noodles bring back childhood memories.
- Versatile: Perfect for chicken noodle soup, stroganoff, or simply tossed in butter.
- Simple ingredients: No fancy equipment—just eggs, milk, flour, salt, and baking powder.
Ingredients for Homemade Noodles
- 2 large eggs, beaten
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup whole milk
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
How to Make Homemade Noodles
- Gather your ingredients. Measure everything out so you can move smoothly from step to step.
- Mix dry ingredients. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, salt, and baking powder until evenly combined.
- Combine eggs and milk. In a separate bowl, beat the eggs with the milk until smooth.
- Form the dough. Make a well in the center of the dry mix, pour in the egg-milk blend, and stir with a fork until a shaggy dough forms.
- Knead until smooth. Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead for about 5–7 minutes until it’s elastic and slightly tacky.
- Rest the dough. Wrap the dough ball in plastic wrap and let it rest at room temperature for 30 minutes (this relaxes the gluten for easier rolling).
- Roll and cut. Divide the dough in half. Roll each piece out to about 1/8-inch thickness, then cut into strips (a sharp knife or pizza cutter works great).
- Cook the noodles. In a large pot of salted boiling water, cook the noodles for 2–3 minutes until al dente. Drain and toss with butter or your favorite sauce.
Pro Tips for Perfect Egg Noodles
- Let the dough rest fully—it makes rolling out so much easier.
- Dust with a little extra flour to prevent sticking, but avoid over-flouring or the noodles will be dry.
- Cut noodles uniformly so they cook evenly.
Whether you’re channeling grandma’s kitchen or experimenting with homemade pasta for the first time, this recipe will become a go-to. Bring this batch of homemade noodles to your table and enjoy the warmth of grandma’s tradition in every bite of homemade noodles.
