Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 2 large Eggs
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 2 tablespoons Milk
- 1 teaspoon Butter (optional, for flavor)
- 2 tablespoons Water (optional, for adjusting dough consistency)
Directions
Step 1
1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour and salt. Mix well to distribute the salt evenly throughout the flour.
Step 2
2. Make a well in the center of the flour mixture. Crack the eggs into the well and add the milk and butter (if using).
Step 3
3. Using a fork or your hands, gradually incorporate the flour into the wet ingredients until it forms a shaggy dough.
Step 4
4. Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and knead it for 8–10 minutes, until it becomes smooth and elastic. If the dough is too dry, add water a teaspoon at a time. If it’s too sticky, sprinkle on a bit more flour.
Step 5
5. Form the dough into a ball and cover it with a clean kitchen towel. Let it rest for 20 minutes to allow the gluten to relax.
Step 6
6. After resting, divide the dough into two pieces for easier rolling. Roll out each piece on a floured surface until it’s about 1/8-inch thick (or your desired noodle thickness).
Step 7
7. Using a sharp knife or pizza cutter, cut the dough into thin strips for noodles. You can make them as wide or narrow as you like.
Step 8
8. Lay the cut noodles on a floured tray or parchment paper to keep them from sticking. Allow them to dry slightly for 10–15 minutes, or cook them immediately.
Step 9
9. To cook the noodles, bring a large pot of salted water or broth to a boil. Drop in the noodles and cook for 5–7 minutes, or until tender.
Step 10
10. Drain and serve the noodles with your favorite soup, sauce, or as a comforting side dish. Enjoy Grandma Hornsby’s timeless classic!
