Homemade Noodles

March is National Noodle Month so I thought this would be fine time to talk about Gramsy's Homemade Noodles. I vividly remember the time she let me cut the noodles when I was probably 5 or 6 years old. Gramsy cut the dough into about six sections then stacked them. She gave me this huge brown knife and instructed me  to slice  thin strips. Well, I proceeded to slice right across my thumb!  I yelped and she grabbed a towel. We went out to the sink in the back room and pumped cold water on my hand.

2 cups flour

½ tsp salt

½ tsp baking powder

3 large eggs

1/8 cup milk (2 TBSPs)

Put all ingredients in food processor. Pulse until in ball form. Rest 20 minutes, covered.  Roll into large thin piece. Cut into sections; stack them, cut noodles using lots of flour.  Let dry overnight. Cook in chicken or beef broth.

Gramsy made corrections to the recipe in my mom's cookbook

Thanksgiving Noodles

My mother-in-law taught my husband how to make the much anticipated turkey stuffing over 25 years ago. The leftover broth from that recipe has been used to cook the Thanksgiving Noodles. Add a very large can of chicken broth to the turkey broth. Bring to a boil. Pour in 16 ounces of noodles. Follow package direction for time (8-10 minutes). Stir frequently over med heat. Turn off heat and cover. All of the liquid will be absorbed by the noodles so you won't have to drain them. Add parsley and pepper.
