Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 2 items large eggs
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 2 tablespoons water
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 1 cup ham (diced)
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper (freshly ground)
• 1 tablespoon parsley (chopped, optional for garnish)
• 4 cups chicken broth

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour and salt.

Step 2

Create a well in the center of the flour mixture and crack the eggs into it. Add water to the well.

Step 3

Using a fork, beat the eggs and water, gradually incorporating the flour until a shaggy dough begins to form.

Step 4

Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and knead for 8-10 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic. Cover with a clean towel and let rest for 10 minutes.

Step 5

Roll out the dough on a floured surface to about 1/8-inch thickness. Cut into thin strips (about 1/4-inch wide) to form noodles.

Step 6

Bring the chicken broth to a boil in a large pot. Add the noodles to the boiling broth and cook for 5-7 minutes, or until tender. Remove the noodles using a slotted spoon, reserving 1 cup of the cooking broth.

Step 7

In a large skillet over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the diced ham and cook until lightly browned, about 3 minutes.

Step 8

Add the cooked noodles to the skillet with the ham. Pour in the reserved chicken broth as needed to keep the noodles moist. Toss to combine.

Step 9

Season with black pepper to taste and garnish with chopped parsley if desired.

Step 10

Serve warm and enjoy your Classic Country Egg Noodles with Ham!
