"you Want Me to Do What to the Buttered Noodles"

Bekah Balmer's Note:

After years of eating at Good and Plenty and Plain and Fancy in Lancaster County my mother finally worked up the courage to ask the waitress how they make the buttered noodles. - Just burn the butter. I know it sounds weird but this has become our family's favorite way to prepare buttered noodles. Plus no additional seasoning needed,

• Total Time: 15 mins
• Prep Time: 0 mins
• Cook Time: 15 mins

Ingredients:

Servings: 4

• 1 (12 ounce) package egg noodles
• 1/2 cup butter

Directions:

1. Boil water and prepare noodles as directed on the package.
2. In a saucepan melt butter. Once the butter is melted stir and watch. Once the butter begins to turn golden and then brown. Wait until the butter has turned medium to dark brown and take off of heat.
3. Drain noodles and pour butter over them. The butter will sizzle when it hits the noodles. There will be little brown flecks on the noodles (this is the yummy part).

Good and Plenty is one of the BEST Amish Restaurants in the Lancaster area. And this is one of my FAVORITE dishes there. I was born and raised in Gettysburg, PA, and went there many times. This is an extremely easy recipe and GOOD recipe for its simplicity, like the Amish lifestyle. I also do this with peeled, quartered potatoes too. Browned Butter Potatoes. Thanks for the recipe and the memories!

I'm not giving this stars because I am not sure if I did something wrong. I followed the recipe as written but we did not like the taste of these. We like buttered noodles but to us the browned butter didn't taste right to us. Not sure if it was the butter I used or what.

Had this for lunch today and was quite surprised how good it was. I eat a lot of buttered noodles but never heard of browning the butter. I will try this again now and then. Made for Zaar Cookbook Tag game.
