Homemade Noodles

Before I start, there are many cookbooks you can borrow from you library on making pasta.  The very basic recipe is easy to make.  You can make a small batch or large batch of noodles.

The first time (2010) I ever made homemade noodles, I used a pizza cutter to cut my noodles, after rolling them with a rolling pin. They were not "pretty" but delicious.  The first recipe I tried, used egg whites vs. the whole egg. I've since then changed recipes.

I have since upgraded to this beauty - bought used online.


I have two cuts I can make, and hope to buy parts down the road (I keep saying that, but the parts never get ordered, ha ha!).

Here is the recipe I use:
2 1/2 cups unbleached, organic flour
pinch of salt
2 eggs, beaten (I use our home raised eggs)
1/2 cup milk
1 Tbsp. butter

I place it all into my food processor, and allow it to rest for 10 minutes in a covered bowl.  I then roll the dough to 1/8th inch or so thickness.  I run my dough through my machine, but you can simply cut it with a pizza cutter or knife too.  I dehydrate my noodles in my dehydrator for a quicker drying time, but you can hang noodles on rods to dry.  You can also use whole wheat flour if you prefer.  If you do not have a mixer or food processor, simply mix in a bowl and knead the dough by hand.  I also purchased milk and butter organic.  In the past I have had our own home raised goat milk, and made butter from that as well. 


I dry my noodles in my dehydrator in the winter, but in the summer, I can simply dry them on trays, then I store them in gallon zip freezer bags in my freezer.
