Homemade Egg Noodles Recipe

Making noodles can be intimidating, but I promise, these egg noodles are super easy to make! A few years ago, we went to my parent’s house for Thanksgiving. My dad was tired of leftover turkey sandwiches and wanted to use the leftover turkey to make turkey noodle soup instead of chicken noodle soup. We didn’t want to go to the store and wanted to make something super easy, so my dad actually whipped up these egg noodles! My dad. Who is not a chef by any means. He made these noodles and everyone RAVED about them! So of course, I had my dad teach me how to make his famous egg noodles, and I have been making them ever since. I always add them to my homemade chicken noodle soup because we no longer can have regular egg noodles at my house.

Recipe for Homemade Egg Noodles

In a mixing bowl, combine flour and salt. Mix until well combined.
In a small bowl, beat eggs until eggs are fully broken up and mixed together.
Make a well (or a hole) in the center of the flour mixture and add water, oil, and eggs.
Gradually work flour into wet ingredients forming a soft dough.
On a floured surface, knead dough until smooth.
Place the dough in a bowl and cover with plastic wrap. Let dough rest at room temperature for 1 hour.
After 1 hour, roll out the dough on a floured surface until dough is approximately 1/4″-1/2″ thick based upon your preference.
Use a pizza cutter (or a knife) to cut desired sized noodles.
Add 5-6 cups of water to a large stock pot and bring to a boil.
When the water is boiling, add in noodles and boil for 2-3 minutes or until egg noodles are soft.
Immediately remove from heat and strain.
Enjoy!

How to Store Homemade Egg Noodles

These noodles can be super sticky! So, what I like to do, is let them cool completely and then store them in an airtight container in the fridge. They are good for up to 3 days. If I am adding them to a recipe, I will usually make them at the same time I am cooking dinner. Our favorite recipe to add these to is my homemade chicken noodle soup. You can find the recipe here.

Freezer Directions

Did you know that you can freeze homemade egg noodles? To freeze homemade egg noodles, I lay the noodles out on a baking sheet and place them in the freezer for about an hour. After the noodles are completely frozen, I then transfer them to a freezer bag.

When you’re ready to use them, simply take them out of the freezer bag and boil them as the directions below. They do not need to be thawed before using.
