I was all ready to do some quilting yesterday but a funny
thing happened, I didn’t. Okay, so maybe it isn’t that funny.
Coming off of my puppet high, I had a lot of creative energy
flowing through me yesterday. However, instead of doing any quilting, I somehow
decided to focus my attention on making homemade chicken noodle soup from
scratch, stock and noodles included, and homemade bread. Knowing that my
husband was going to be home late from the Ridgefield
High School
First off, I’ve never made my own egg noodles. After
yesterday I have no idea why. They are so easy and taste so much better! Of
course, they were a little thicker than one would get in the grocery store
because I didn’t roll them out as thin as they should’ve been, but for chicken
noodle soup they worked out perfectly. I also used a food processor so the
dough came together in a matter of seconds.
Egg Noodles
1½ cups all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons cold butter, diced
pinch of salt
2 egg yolks
2 eggs
In a food processor, combine flour and diced butter by
pulsing 3 times. Lightly beat the eggs and yolks before adding the flour
mixture. Pulse until it comes together in a ball. On a floured surface (use a
lot to prevent sticking) roll the dough out thinly. I did mine in two batches
for thick noodles, but you may need to do it in three or four for thinner.
Allow to dry about 20 minutes on a pasta rack, or do what I did and use wooden
salad forks resting between the bowl and blade base of the Kitchen-Aid stand
mixer. Cut in desired shapes. Boil for 4 to 10 minutes depending on size and
shape.
