🍽️ Servings: Not specified
Description:
This cherished recipe of mine hails from my dear mom’s kitchen, a tradition I uphold especially when my DH (darling husband) is away. While he prefers mashed potatoes, my German Shepherd, Ben, and I revel in the comfort of these delightful noodles. If you fancy, you can elevate the dish by adding cooked, cubed chicken for an extra burst of flavor.
Ingredients:
- 1 cup flour
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 egg
- 1/4 cup margarine
- 2 1/2 cups milk
Instructions:
-
Mix Together:
In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, salt, baking powder, egg, margarine, and milk. Stir until a smooth, cohesive dough forms. -
Roll Out:
Once mixed, roll out the dough on a lightly floured surface to your desired thickness. This will form the base of your noodles. -
Let Stand:
Allow the rolled-out dough to rest for approximately 20 minutes. This resting period helps the gluten relax, resulting in more tender noodles. -
Cut Into Noodles:
After the resting period, cut the dough into your desired size and shape of noodles. You can opt for traditional thin strands or wider ribbons, depending on your preference. -
Cook in Chicken Broth:
Transfer the cut noodles into a pot of simmering chicken broth. Allow them to cook until they reach your desired consistency, which typically takes about 30 to 45 minutes. The noodles will absorb the savory flavors of the broth as they cook, enhancing their taste. -
Serve Over Mashed Potatoes:
For a comforting meal experience, serve these delectable noodles over a bed of creamy mashed potatoes. The combination of flavors and textures is simply divine. -
Adjust Consistency:
If you prefer a more soup-like noodle dish, simply add additional broth to the pot along with some vegetables of your choice. This versatile recipe allows for customization based on your preferences.
