A while back someone asked me for my grandmothers recipe. I just came across it yesterday.
1/2 tsp salt
2 eggs well beaten
1 1/3 to 1 1/2 cup sifted flour.
Add the salt to the eggs. Put the flour into a bowl and make a hole. Add the eggs and stir the flour in gradually. Turn out on a floured surface. Knead until the dough is stiff and elastic adding more flour if needed.
Cover with a towel and let it rest for 15 minutes. Cut the dough into two parts and roll out very thin. Sprinkle the dough with flour and roll up into a cylinder. Slice pieces about 1/2 " wide and shake out. Allow the noodles to dry for about an hour or until they are a deep gold. (My grandmother would have us unroll the noodles and break them into shorter lengths. She added more flour to them during the drying process.) Cook the noodles in chicken broth and butter or a combination of roasted chicken drippings and chicken broth with butter. Use lots of butter.
This is not exactly a low cholesterol recipe or for someone who is dieting but it is so good.
