How to Make Homemade Egg Noodles with Fresh Milled Flour
I was inspired to make homemade egg noodles with fresh milled flour after receiving my first 25 lb. bucket of red winter wheat this past week. My husband loves egg noodles and my Mamaw has taught us all how to make them. Many of my family members make them, but this will be a first with freshly milled flour. I’m so excited for you to join me as we cook from scratch today!
Homemade Egg Noodles with Fresh Milled Flour
Ingredients
Equipment
Method
- Arrange your freshly milled flour into a well on the counter. I did this on a large cutting board or if you have a noodle board, that would work great.
- Crack your eggs and put them into the well.
- Use a fork to whisk up the eggs and start to gently incorporate bits of flour from the sides into the well.
- Continue to incorporate bits of flour from the sides into the well, while adding a bit of the water here and there during this process.
- Knead the dough until you get a smooth ball of dough.
- Cut the dough into four pieces to make it easier to roll out. I sprinkle flour on the surface to keep the dough and later the cut noodles from sticking.
- Roll out each section of dough until you get your desired thickness. Use your muscles here! I think it is easier to push this particular dough away from me, so I turn the dough occasionally.
- Cut the dough into your desired size. I like smaller noodles.
- At this time, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and then continue rolling out and cutting the dough.
- Carefully drop the noodles into the salted water and let them cook for 3-4 minutes. It doesn't take long at all. Plus, they will continue to soften if you are combining them with chicken or beef for chicken and noodles or beef and noodles.
- Drain the noodles or gently remove them with a slotted spoon and serve. I like to add them to cooked chicken or beef and add some salt and pepper. Yum!
Why These Egg Noodles with Fresh Milled Flour are So Good
The hard red wheat berries add a level of freshness and nutrition to these egg noodles that make them amazing. They continue vitamins and minerals that you wouldn’t get otherwise. I used Palouse Hard Red Wheat for this batch.
Plus, you only need three ingredients, time, and some muscle to make these!
I love that they are versatile. You can eat them plain, with cooked chicken or beef, or add them into your favorite soup. Yum!
