Happy Homebody Monday to you!
I was up before the sun this morning 5:00 am, love to watch the sunrise. I don't plan to do, but when I wake up I have the most energy and I always have things I would like to get done.
We had made a stop at Lehmans in Amish country, I picked up a noodle drying rack, & rolling pin for scoring the dough. Yesterday we were in Amish and I picked up some Durham flour for making noodles.
Today....I made the noodles.
I've made them one or two other times, but decided that I wanted to dry them for 24 hours and put them up for a time when I needed them. At one time I thought I wanted a pasta machine, I'm glad I didn't purchase one for I prefer to make them handmade, like my grandmother did.
I purchased the rolling pin for making noodles, I need to experiment to see if this cuts through the dough, which it didn't this time, or just score it. I used a bench scraper to cut along the score lines.
Recipe
1 Tbsp water
2 eggs
1/4 tsp salt
1 3/4 cup flour
mix together until a soft dough forms, do not knead
Roll out thin. If you want to store these they must dry 24 hours.
Very interesting process. Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteI missed your post about the storm you had. Wow. That was a doozie. I'm glad no one (it seems) was hurt.
ReplyDeleteWe have a generator and are quick to use it when the power is out. We may not need it often but when we do...
I remember my Mom making noodles. She'd make them the day after she had killed an old hen (for the stewing pot). There were almost always some undeveloped eggs in the hen and she used them to make noodles. This often resulted in Chicken Noodle soup.
I think that you are doing great with the noodle making. It is a big process, but I remember how lovely my MIL's tasted.
ReplyDeleteGod bless.
I have my MIL's recipe for homemade noodles. I usually make a batch of noodles at Thanksgiving to add to the left over turkey. My husband loves for me to make them wide. I usually just stretch mine out over a large wire rack to dry a bit before I add them to boiling water. Homemade noodles are the best.
ReplyDeleteThose are the best recipes, the handed down homemade ones. I imagine that those are heavenly noodles with turkey. My family liked them very much, and I will continue to make them, as I love working with dough, and they are delicious. Thank you for visiting me & leaving a comment.
