  1. I've been making homemade noodles similar to this recipe for years and we love them! Total comfort food! I use whole eggs and cut my noodles thicker as a personal choice. After cutting the noodles (if you don't have a noodle cutter a pizza cutter works great!)I lay them out to dry before cooking and they take about 20 minutes to cook. A little corn starch and water added to the broth/noodles after cooking thickens the juice as well. Delicious over mashed potatoes!
     
  2. I had to laugh when I saw this recipe! This is the same recipe my husband's X- wife says is a family secret. HA! HA! She never could make it like HER Grandma could but, now I can. My husband always loved HER Grandma. He also loved this dish when Grandma made it, not when X-wife did. Now I can make it for him, and he can enjoy it again! Thank you so much for helping me to have one more step above his X-wife, not that there needs to be...HA!HA!
     
  3. I'm not sure how to administer the stars here as I only had a problem with one aspect of the recipe - but it was a major issue. Everything turned out great, but it was WAY too salty. Needless to say, no one could finish eating it and it got dumped. This recipe calls for a total of 2 tablespoons of salt - 1 with the boiling of the chicken and 1 with the making of the noodles. Decrease the amount of salt to "to taste" and this recipe is a winner.
     
  4. Just like my Mom and Grandmother used to make. We use a whole chicken and toss in a whole peeled yellow onion and a carrot or two to flavor the broth. It's good old fashioned German comfort food. Try it you'll love it.
     
  5. The firt time I tried these noodles my family loved them. They taste great and was very easy to make. My family is already requesting them for Thanksgiving dinner.
