Needs more water!


MADE FROM SCRATCH NOODLES:

1- beaten egg

2- TBS milk
1.5 tsp salt
1- c flour

Beat egg, milk, & salt.
Add enough flour to make a stiff dough.
Knead on floured surface until pliable.
Roll thin.
Let stand 20 min.
Roll up loosely and slice ¼ inch wide.
Unroll, spread noodles out, cover with a towel or paper towels.
Dry two or more  hours or store in a container, in a cool place, until needed.

Drop into boiling broth, soup, or salted water and cook, uncovered 10-20 min.

Makes 3 cups noodles.

For a big pot of soup,  X4 the ingredients, and cut the noodles big and wide, almost like dumplings.
You can make them thin, (they dry out faster) or for a white sauce, or an Alfredo sauce dish.

You can sprinkle into the flour: shredded cheese, herbs, cracked pepper, seasonings etc….
Don’t be afraid to get creative!

Try different types of flour

Over Finely Chopped Kale


We serve it over finely chopped Kale & sprinkle with red hot pepper flakes.

***Leftover Alert: It is better the second day after storing overnight in the frig.

A HISTORICAL FACT

Mess hall dining dates back to the beginning of time- when everyone gathered around a fire to eat the latest kill.
