Oodles of Noodles!

It was noodle making day here at our house...

and almost everyone got involved! =)

My nephews, Eli and Caleb, cranking the dough through the noodle press. =)

While you are supposed to let these dry for three days, 

they are *super yummy* boiled up fresh! 

Simply toss in some butter, salt and pepper, and you have yourself a great dish!

 Just make sure you only boil for less than a minute, as the soft dough will overcook very easily. When dried, you can cook them as you would store bought noodles - probably a few minutes until desired tenderness.

Homemade Noodles
Recipe from the Homesteading for Beginners Volume 3 DVD 
by the Harrison Family from the Homestead Store

Ingredients:

• 2 cups egg yolks
• 1 cup egg whites
• 1 cup boiling water
• 3.5 pounds of your choice of flour 

Mix yolks, whites and boiling water. Add all the flour. This mixture will be very dry and crumbly. Cover and let set for 30 minutes. Knead with your hands until it is nice and smooth. This will take very little kneading. 

Put the dough through a noodle press. 

Each time you run the dough through, make the setting smaller so the dough gets thinner and longer. 

Place your strips of dough over a drying rack while you send the rest through. 

If you do not have a noodle press, roll out the dough really thin and cut with a pizza cutter.

Do not let the dough get too dry or it will crumble when you send it through the press again. 

Dry the noodles for 3 days on a clean sheet. 

Pack into airtight containers and store them in your pantry. 
These noodles last for a long time. 

Enjoy!
