Homemade Egg Noodles

 Homemade Egg Noodles
1 1/2 C. flour
1 tsp. salt
3 egg yolks
6 Tbsp. water

Combine flour in salt in bowl of food processor with S blade attached.  Pulse once or twice to combine.

In a small bowl, mix together egg yolks and water.  With food processor running, add the egg yolk mixture through the feed tube.

Dough should form a solid ball.  If dough is still to crumbly, add water a tablespoon at a time till dough comes together.  This will be a fairly stiff dough.

Coat dough with flour and let rest covered with a towel for about 5 minutes.  This makes the dough easier to roll out.

Roll dough out on floured surface, being sure it doesn't stick.

Using a noodle cutter, knife, or pizza cutter, cut dough into desired length and width of noodles.

Assorted cutting devices

 

If you don't have a noodle cutter, you can also flour the dough, roll it into a log and cut it with a knife.

Separate noodles and hang on pasta rack to dry.  If you don't have a pasta rack you can use a cooling rack set on cans, the back of a chair or even a piece of string that has been tied across an opening.
