This Homemade Egg Noodles recipe guides you through creating fresh, tender egg noodles from scratch in just 30 minutes. Made with simple pantry staples like flour, eggs, and water, these noodles are versatile and perfect for soups, sauces, or butter and parmesan cheese. The dough is kneaded, rolled thin, cut into strips, and quickly cooked in chicken broth or salted water for an authentic taste and texture.

  • Total Time: 30 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

Dry Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting
  • 1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt

Wet Ingredients

  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/4 cup water, plus more as needed

For Cooking

  • Chicken broth or salted water, for boiling noodles

Instructions

  1. Prepare Dry Ingredients: In a large shallow bowl, stir together 2 cups of all-purpose flour and 1/2 teaspoon of fine sea salt until well combined.
  2. Make Egg Mixture: Create a well in the center of the flour mixture, crack in 2 large eggs, and whisk them lightly with a fork. Add 1/4 cup water to the eggs.
  3. Combine Ingredients: Gradually whisk the flour from the edges of the well into the egg and water mixture until a dough forms. Add additional water 1 tablespoon at a time if the dough is too dry, or sprinkle more flour if too sticky.
  4. Knead Dough: Transfer dough to a well-floured surface and knead for 3 to 5 minutes until smooth and elastic. Shape into a ball and cover with a towel, letting it rest for 10 to 15 minutes.
  5. Roll Dough: Dust the surface with flour and roll the dough out into a thin sheet, about 1/4 to 1/8 inch thick. Allow it to rest for a few minutes to dry slightly.
  6. Cut Noodles: Fold the dough sheet several times into a loose roll. Using a sharp knife, cut the dough into thin strips about 1/4-inch wide. Unroll the strips and dust with flour to prevent sticking. Optionally, let noodles air dry for 15 to 30 minutes for firmer texture.
  7. Cook Noodles: Bring a large pot of chicken broth or salted water to a boil over medium heat. Add the fresh noodles and cook for 3 to 5 minutes until tender but still slightly firm (al dente).
  8. Drain and Serve: Drain the cooked noodles and serve immediately with butter and parmesan cheese, your favorite sauce, or add to soups for a homemade touch.

Notes

  • Add water gradually because the dough consistency can vary based on humidity and flour type.
  • Rolling dough thinner than 1/8 inch can make noodles very delicate and prone to breaking.
  • Air drying noodles before cooking creates a firmer texture, which holds sauces better.
  • Use chicken broth instead of water while cooking for added flavor if desired.
  • Store uncooked noodles in an airtight container for up to 2 days or freeze for longer storage.
