When my oldest was little he loved a show called PB&J Otter. They were brother and sister otters that would figure out problematic situations by doing their noodle dance. The dance song started with the line noodle use your noodle. One night I came home with the full intention of making beef and noodles from leftover roast. I opened my freezer and started digging for my favorite brand of frozen noodles. None in sight. Great now what was I going to do. I got out my cook books and started looking. I came across an egg noodle recipe that seemed simple enough. They turned out wonderful!! I was paying around 3.50 a bag for my favorite frozen noodles. This recipe makes the same amount and costs 75 cents.
2 cups flour
2 large eggs
2 tbsp of oil*
2 tbsp of water
2 tbsp of milk
1/2 tsp of salt.
Beat the eggs. Add in the oil, water, salt, and flour. Mix well with a fork to form dough. Roll thin on a well floured surface. Cut into then strips with a pizza cutter. Drop into boiling broth. Cook for 20-25 minutes.
This works well for beef and noodles or chicken and noodles.
*I used olive oil once and it gave the noodles a different taste. We didn't like it so I stick to canola oil.
