Amish Egg Noodles

INGREDIENTS:

To whip up a batch of Amish egg noodles, you’ll need:

2 cups all-purpose flour

2 large eggs

1/2 teaspoon salt

2-3 tablespoons water, as needed

DIRECTIONS:

In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour and salt.

Make a well in the center of the flour mixture and add the eggs.

Using a fork, gradually incorporate the flour into the eggs until a dough forms.

If the dough is too dry, add water, one tablespoon at a time, until it comes together.

Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and knead until smooth and elastic, about 5-7 minutes.

Cover the dough with a clean kitchen towel and let it rest for 10-15 minutes.

Divide the dough into two equal portions.

Roll out each portion of dough into a thin sheet, about 1/8 inch thick.

Using a sharp knife or pizza cutter, cut the dough into strips of desired width.

Allow the noodles to dry for about 30 minutes before cooking.

To cook the noodles, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.

Add the noodles to the boiling water and cook until tender, about 5-7 minutes.

Drain the noodles and serve hot with your favorite sauce or toppings.
