Ingredients

Serves 6 

  • 5 large eggs
  • 2/3 cup milk
  • 2 1/2 teaspoons salt
  • 5 cups all-purpose flour
  • 4 cups water
  • 2 (10-ounce) cans chicken broth
  • 2 tablespoons chicken bouillon granules
  • 8 tablespoons (1 stick) butter
Directions
  1. 1

    Beat eggs in a large bowl. Add milk and salt and beat well. Add enough of the flour to form a stiff dough. Divide dough in half.

  2. 2

    Roll each portion of dough 1/8 inch thick on a floured surface. Let stand, turning occasionally, for 2 hours.

  3. 3

    Roll up each portion of dough, jelly roll fashion. Slice thinly with a sharp knife. Spread out the noodles.

  4. 4

    Combine water, broth and bouillon granules in a large Dutch oven. Bring to a boil over high heat.

  5. 5

    Reserve 1 cup of the noodles. Drop the remaining noodles into boiling broth mixture.

  6. 6

    Cook, stirring occasionally, until liquid is absorbed, about 20 to 25 minutes. Spoon into a serving dish.

  7. 7

    Melt butter in a medium skillet over medium-high heat. Fry reserved noodles in hot butter until browned, about 2 minutes. Sprinkle on top of the boiled noodles; serve.

Grandma's Secret Trick

Grandma's Secret Trick

When Grandma had a lot of leftover roasted beef or pork, she made one of our favorites: shredded meat and homemade noodles. She added 1 or 2 cups shredded beef or pork to the broth mixture with the noodles. Then she sprinkled on chopped parsley for a fresh flavor.
