Egg noodles are simple to make and require very few ingredients. They are great in soup and are a great noodle to use in casseroles. This page contains homemade egg noodle recipes.
Crack an egg into a medium bowl, and add half an eggshell of milk. Add salt, and 1/2 to 1 cup flour, a bit at a time. Stir till the dough leaves the bowl. Place dough onto lightly floured surface and knead until dough is smooth.
Pat dough flat, and roll out dough until as thin as possible, turning, and using flour to keep the dough from sticking. Use a pizza cutter or sharp knife and cut into long strips, then into noodle size pieces. Sprinkle with more flour as needed, scrape noodles loose with metal spatula. Cover with a clean towel, let dry if possible.
I've also put the noodles into cook ASAP. Separate noodles with spatula, drop into boiling broth. Cook until tender, 10-20 minutes.
I've added dried parsley flakes with the milk, and have also added yellow food coloring to make a nice color.
This will make noodles for 4. This recipe is easily doubled, etc. as needed.

My husband's grandmother made these better than anyone one I have ever tasted them from! They are SO good, especially with chicken!
Mix egg yolks, water and oil. Stir in flour. Add more flour if needed and knead so it is not sticky. Take baseball-size pieces of dough; flatten and flour them. Put through noodle maker 2 or 3 times. Dry. Cut into noodles and dry some more.

To make wonderful noodles for your soup, etc., here's how easy it is! For a medium amount (serving six):
My favorite way to use these noodles is to make a thick chicken noodle soup and serve over mashed potatoes. I think a lot of people are afraid to make noodles, but it'd be hard to mess this recipe up! You just need to start ahead of time. It could be made in the morning, cut the long 2-3 inch strips, cover, and come home to fresh noodles ready for your broth!
