INGREDIENTS FOR NOODLES
3 c all purpose flour plus for dusting
3 large egg room temp
1/2 c milk or buttermilk
pinch salt
you can increase or decrease your noodle mixture to fit your cooking needs. this is just a starter recipe.
INGREDIENTS FOR BROTH
8 c chicken broth
1 tsp salt to taste
1 tsp black pepper
3 tsp garlic powder or minced garlic
3 c diced cooked chicken

Steps:

1. Hardware needed Lage bowl or heavy mixer Medium bowl for eggs Fork to whisk Rolling pin Large surface to roll out dough Large pot for broth
2. Combine room temp eggs and lightly whisk together.
3. In a large bowl or heavy mixer add the flour and salt,combine the eggs and slowly add the milk, just enough to form a semi dry ball of dough. Add more milk or flour to create consistency but do not overwork. Noodles will be tough.
4. Turn dough out onto a floured surface and divide into thirds. (Its easier to roll)
5. Roll egg dough out with a rolling pin and if it sticks dust with a little flour. Roll to 1/8 inch thickness. Roll into a rectangle. Then lightly flour the dough surface and from one short end roll into a tight long roll.
6. Using a sharp knife cut egg dough into strips. I usually cut about 1/4 inch. Once cut, open each one and allow to dry in the flour for at least 30 minutes. Repeat this for each ball of egg dough.
7. While your dough is drying combine your broth ingredients and allow it to come to a rolling boil.
8. When the broth comes to a rolling boil add your noodles a few at a time allowing the broth to come up to temp again. Stir frequently until all are in the broth and it begins to boil.
9. Turn down the heat to medium or simmer and allow to cook for 20 minutes or until tender. Add diced chicken, allow to simmer for five minutes, serve over mashed potatoes or a sourdough bread bowl.
