Homemade Egg Noodles

Homemade Egg Noodles
2 1/2 cups flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 eggs, beaten
1/2 cup milk
1 tablespoon butter, softened

1. In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, mix together the flour and salt. Add the beaten egg, milk, and butter. Remove the paddle attachment and replace with the dough hook. Knead dough until smooth, about 5 minutes. Turn out onto a lightly floured surface and cover with a clean kitchen towel. Let rest 10 minutes.
2. Divide dough into 4 equal pieces and roll each piece out to 1/8 or 1/4 inch thickness. Cut into desired lengths and shapes. (a pizza cutter works really well to cut them into strips)
3. Place on a wire rack and allow to  air dry, at least 2 hours. When the noodle are dry you can break the dry noodle into smaller pieces if desired.
4. To cook fresh pasta, in a large pot with boiling salted water cook until al dente, about 8-10 minutes. 

Yields: 6-8 servings

I couldn't believe how easy these were!! And they tasted SO yummy!! If you don't have a mixer you could easily just use your hands to knead the dough.  These would be so delicious in homemade chicken noodle soup. Try it!!!
