Homemade Egg Noodles

These egg noodles are another one of my grandma’s recipes – they were one of my mom’s favorite foods growing up, so they are a common fixture in my house around her birthday.

This recipe will make enough for about six to eight people, depending on appetite levels.

Ingredients

(All units are American customary.)

• 3 egg yolks
• 1 egg
• 3 tablespoons of water
• 1 teaspoon of salt
• 2 cups of flour
• 1 pound of beef short ribs

Equipment

• Large mixing bowl
• Large pot
• Noodle-slicing machine

Directions

First, you have to make the raw noodles:

• Mix all ingredients thoroughly (except short ribs) in the mixing bowl.
• Spread the dough and flatten it into a sheet, as thin as you can get it.
• Use the noodle-slicing machine to cut the dough into individual noodles. (Or, just cut it with a knife.)
• Allow the noodles to dry for 8 to 10 hours. They’ll look like this:

Then, to actually cook them:

• Place the beef short ribs in the pot.
• Cover the short ribs with water, and cook for one hour.
• Add the noodles, and cook for an additional 45-60 minutes.
• Serve! (They usually need salt.)
