I'd talked about it for years and everyone I've ever spoken to about it said it is incredibly easy, so I have nothing to blame but my own lazy butt for not trying it sooner. And, yes, I agree: it
is incredibly easy to make your own noodles!
Dh was wanting to make beef stroganoff, so I set out to make egg noodles. I searched online and looked a number of recipes, eventually settling on mixture of two different ones (from
About.com,
Cooks.com and from
CDKitchen). I ended up using 2 C flour, 1/4 t salt, and 3 eggs, and pretty much followed the
About.com instructions.
The flour and salt, mixed together with a fork:

I made a well in the center of the flour mixture and added the 3 eggs:

Per the About.com instructions, I scrambled the eggs first with the fork, then slowly started incorporating the flour:

A short video of my incorporating the flour bit by bit:
After incorporating, I dumped the lumpy dough out onto a floured surface:

Kneading for about 10 minutes or so yielded a much smoother dough ball:

Rolling out the dough:

Is it thin enough yet?

Then, I rolled up the rolled-out dough, jelly-roll style, and cut it into desired widths:

I twirled the dough ribbons into a streamer-like shape, just for fun:

After drying out for a couple of hours on the counter (and they were, by no means, actually dry-dry), dh made stroganoff with them! Here it is, served with a salad of greens from our garden:

Seriously easy!
