Directions:* In a large bowl, combine eggs, salt and 1 cup flour. Mix together, continue to add flour, ½ cup at at time, mixing thoroughly until the dough becomes rolling consistency. * Split the dough ball in half to make it more manageable. * Roll the dough out thin, about ¼ inch thick. * Allow the dough to dry a little before cutting. Slice the dough into 2½- 3 inch strips. * Stack the strips on top of each other. Now, slice the stack into ¼ in strips. Sprinkle a little flour on the noodles. The noodles are not ready to be cooked. * Put the noodles in a ziplock bag and store in the refrigerator. They can be stored for 2 days. * Now it's time for the chicken. In a large pot, bring 4-5 quarts of salted water to a boil. Put in the whole chicken or thighs and/or bone in chicken breasts. Cook until the chicken is completely done, no pink. Remove the chicken from the broth and allow to cool completely. * Remove the chicken from the bone and place in a bowl. * Bring the broth to a gentle boil, stir in a few noodles at a time until all noodles are in the boiling broth. Now it's time to add in the chicken back in to the noodles and broth. IF you want to thicken, use either flour or cornstarch mixed with cold water, stirred until smooth. Slowly pour into the noodle mixture until its the desired thickness.
** Grandma Pease always served her chicken and noodles over mashed potatoes. It's CARBALICIOUS! |
