Grandma Laura’s Noodles

My grandmother Laura always made turkey noodle soup with leftover meat. Her no dry noodles are simple, quick, and taste great. You can double or triple the recipe easily. I hope you enjoy them as much as we did.

Grandma Laura’s Noodles

3/4c       flour

1t            baking powder

                Pinch salt

1              large egg

I do not use a bowl for this, making these noodles directly on the counter. If you are not comfortable with this, start off using a small bowl to made the dough. You can work your way up to a bowl free noodle.

Combine flour, baking powder, and salt, pushing into a pile. Form a well in the middle and add egg. Using a fork, pull the flour into the egg until it is mostly incorporated. Then using your hands, form into a stiff ball. You can add a little water if needed.

Add a little flour to surface and roll out to your desired thickness using a rolling pin.

To cut the noodles, roll the dough into a spiral and slice every ½”.

You can leave these in long strings or cut these rolls in half again then un-spiral (as pictured).

To cook

Bring liquid to rolling boil and add noodles a handful at a time. They will cook quickly, rising to the top when done. Maintain the boil and keep adding noodles, handful at a time, mixing into liquid, they rise to top, handful, mix, rise to top… until all are cooked.
