EASY HOMEMADE AMISH EGG NOODLES

Steps:

• 1. **Please note: Prep time does not include one hour rest for dough or drying time, if desired.
• 2. Place flour, salt, eggs, yolks and water in stand mixer fitted with a dough hook. If you choose, you can also do by hand. Mix on speed 2 until dough comes together, scraping sides and bottom of bowl often. After a few minutes, if it seems too dry or too wet, add water or flour a spoonful at a time, just until it comes together. You don't want a sticky dough.
• 3. When the dough forms a ball, continue to knead on speed 2 for 5 more minutes. (By hand, about 10 minutes, or until dough becomes smooth.) The dough should not be sticky. Remember, you may want it to dry out later. Wrap in Saran Wrap and place on counter at room temp. for 1 hour to rest. It should not stick to the Saran Wrap.
• 4. Flour counter top. Then remove dough from wrap and roll as close to 1/16" as possible. As you roll with each pass, turn and flip the dough to avoid sticking to the counter. Keep your work area lightly floured at all times. The thicker the dough, the chewier the noodles and the longer it will take them to cook. Ideally, you want to be able to start to see the shadow of your hand through the dough, but not so thin that you can't pick up the noodles. Thinner is better in this case.
• 5. Then, make sure your dough moves easily on the counter. With a pastry wheel or pizza cutter, cut to desired width. It doesn't matter what width, but they should all be uniform so that they cook evenly.
• 6. Transfer to cookie sheet(s) lined with waxed paper and a little loose flour and allow to dry for about an hour if using immediately. If you wish to freeze them, allow to dry for at least 2-3 hours, then place in a ziplock bag and freeze. When ready to use, drop into boiling water or boiling broth while noodles are still frozen. Do not defrost noodles first or they'll stick together.
• 7. Old country Amish women would spread these out on the table and let them dry overnight. To speed things up in today's world, I put a small 7" fan on my counter which worked beautifully in a short amount of time. Drying time varies depending on how thick or thin you rolled them.

AMISH EGG NOODLES

Steps:

• In a large pan, brown two tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Pour the chicken stock and bouillon cube into the pan and bring to a boil. Add the egg noodles to the chicken stock and return to a boil. Cover the pot and remove from the heat. Let the noodles set for 30 minutes, stirring every 10 minutes or so. If you notice a lot of liquid left in the pot, test a noodle to be certain they are done to your liking. If they're not quite done, return to the heat until the liquid has evaporated and the noodles are done. If the noodles are done to your liking, just drain the liquid away. Top with the remaining 4 tablespoons of butter, parsley, and salt and pepper to taste. (Be wary of adding too much salt as the stock and bouillon tends to be salty on it's own.) Serve immediately or leave in the pan, covered, until ready to serve. These will stay warm for 20 more minutes or so with no problems.
