  1. Why not milk like most traditional egg noodle recipe? Can I ask what difference it makes with water vs. milk, or one egg vs. two? Thanks.
     
  2. Can this be dried fully and stored in pantry?

  1. Used this to make homemade creamy chicken and noodles. I also used my KitchenAid mixer with the dough hook to knead the dough and a pizza cutter to cut them up. Didn't even break a sweat it was so easy! I also did not wait for them to dry and just tossed them in my soup. They were very tender and perfect. Thank you so much for posting this!!
     
  2. Good Gravy these are delicious. I was prepping chicken for frying tomorrow ( buttermilk bath today) and had the backs left over..decided to make some stock although I already have tons in the freezer. Had some left over moroccan chicken from earlier in the week and decided - hey, why not? Howzabout some homemade noodles to go with that. Read lots of recipes and chose yours. Boy am I glad I did. I rolled mine fairly thick on purpose and they are melt in your mouth delicious. Thanks so much . Easy and tasty - doesn't get much better than that.
     
  3. Very simple. If you are using a KitchenAid pasta appliance, make sure the dough is not sticky AT ALL. It will be difficult to separate into individual noodles if it is at all sticky. It is not so crucial if you are rolling out and cutting by hand/pizza cutter, etc.<br/>Either way, they are wonderful, light, and tasty! Great recipe!
     
  4. I wanted to make homemade noddles to add to my Grandma's (Mom's Mom) Chicken and Noodles recipe. THESE ARE THE BEST!!! The first time I made them, my dad said they reminded him of his mom's homemade noodles and were just as good as hers--the best compliment ever (and made me cry)! This recipe makes a lot of noodles, too.<br/>One suggestion: cut the salt down to at least 1 teaspoon--any more than that makes it too salty.<br/>To roll the dough and to cut into strips, I have a $20 pasta roller machine from Amazon--makes perfectly thin (or thick) noodles and has fettuccine attachment that cuts the noodles into perfect width! Thank you so much for this awesome recipe!<br/>Note: don't store these overnight in a plastic bag. The noodles will soak in any flour and may become a ball of dough. I caught mine in thine and was able to separate them in time. Either dry the noodles completely or use immediately.
     
  5. Very easy recipe, just be sure to add the water a little at a time or it gets gummy really fast. I don't dry them, I just dump them into a pot of boiling water till it floats. (then add the noodles to some chicken noodle soup. YUM) Using a pizza cutter to cut the noodles is easy.

  1. This is a fabulous recipe and so easy to make! The only suggestion I would make, though, is that it is not necessary to kneed the dough or to let it rest. I mixed my dough, divided into four parts, and began rolling it. It worked great, and the noodles are absolutely delicious! Thank you for sharing this recipe!
     
  2. Best homeade chicken and noodles recipe I have found. The noodle texture is just right and they are easy to make .Thank you for sharing!
     
  3. Cut the strips into length first, then width, after partially drying the rolled out dough.
     
  4. Yummy!! I used my kitchen Aid and milk instead of water and added a tblsp of parmesan:)
     
  5. My first try at homemade noodles. DS9 said they were the best he ever had. Following the advice of a friend, I used chicken broth in place of the water. Very delicious. Thanks, Kindcook!
