Directions: |
Directions:In a large bowl, mix 1¾ cups of flour, ½ tsp salt, 1 tsp baking powder. Make a well in the center of the mixture.
Combine egg yolks, beaten egg, water and oil. Add to dry mixture and mix well.
Sprinkle a kneading surface with remaining flour and knead until dough is smooth (8-10 minutes). Let dough rest for about 10 minutes.
Divide dough into 4 portions. Roll eacdh portion into 12" squares that are about 1/16" thick--we're talking paper thin here. Use plenty of flour to keep it from sticking to the counter or whatever you're rolling them on. Let stand for 20 minutes.
Cut with a noodle cutter (we use a rolling mincer). Proceed until all dough is cut. As you cut the noodles, sprinkle a little more flour on them and toss them until they don't clump together. The flour you have on the noodles is what thickens the broth.
You need to let them dry some before you cook them. According to Mom's direction you can dry them overnight on racks then refrigerate up to 3 days in an airtight container.
To cook noodles once they are dried:
Bring chicken or beef broth to boiling. Add noodles a few at a time, always maintaining the boil at all time or they will clump together into a big ball of dough. Cook noodles 1½ - 2 minutes or longer if dried. The broth should thicken into a nice gravy if you've got enough flour in the noodles. Mom said 2 small cans of Swanson's chicken broth to about 1/2 recipe of noodles comes out right. |

Notes: So, noodles are a big deal where I grew up--always at Thanksgiving, or whenever we had a family dinner with baked chicken. People even sell them in the fall at festivals. They are a big pain in the butt to make, but they are good. The first time Mom made them for Tom he told me I had to learn to make them before she died.
On the Davis side of the family, we all went to my cousin Judy's for Xmas dinner. Judy's mom, my Aunt Isabel, always got stuck with the noodles. One Xmas she complained that she "always had to make the fucking noodles" (she was probably in her late 70's at the time). Since then, they've been referred to as "the fucking noodles".
