Any body have an old timey egg noodle recipe (ALL YOLKS)?

[beckt]

When I make noodles I never put any liquid in them. Just the egg and flour and sometimes salt sometimes not (depends on my mood) and they are pretty good (well havent had any complaints yet). I have tried them both ways yolks only and the whole egg. Now after reading this I should add some liquid to the yolk only ones as they are a real treat to mix. Was thinking of making a batch this week and now will try the liquid method just to see how they turn out.

Noodles like all breads, crusts, doughs and so forth is much more about technique than it is the recipe. I happen to make my egg noodles without the whites. It is flour egg yolk water, cold not very much and salt not very much. The good ones are those that are worked just enough to be elastic but not tough and are rested for a while before rolling them out. I like to dry them for a few hours minimum before using them.

Just for fun I looked up egg noodle recipes and most included the whole egg. My mother went either way depending on if she had a use for the whites or not.

Yikes what a controversy

I agree that letting the dough rest for 30 minutes or so before you roll it out makes it much easier to handle.

No controversy to me.....a person can make them with or without the whites.....they're still noodles.

Yup, noodles only have a few ingredients lakeman....being eggs, flour, water (sometimes), salt (sometimes). Seeing as the only "wet" products you have are eggs and water, it's common knowledge that you'd add more water due to the lack of egg whites.

I also agree, that it really is a technique. Once you get the technique, you don't follow a recipe. The dough talks to you, depending on what day it is. Recipe I use (although it had whole eggs, but just adjust water until you have a nice dough ball) 1 cup flour to one egg. Dash of salt. I usually make 4 portions (4 cups flour, 4 eggs) each time. If you do a bigger version, you could prolly use 4 cups flour and 5 egg yolks, then knead in flour until a nice dough ball forms.

I don't think Katy is being offensive to you at all, I think it's quite the opposite. Katy is not taking the topic, off topic. Pretty sure we are still talking about noodles here.

ETA: (I own an angel food cake pan, and i'm not "old timey" by any means.

Almost anyone I know that bakes, in fact has one. I don't think they went extinct)

All this noodle talk is making me hungry! I add dry crushed chicken bouillon cubes to my egg mixture before I add flour. Gives a little extra flavor boost.

Now, now, the OP has made it clear that he is ONLY interested in specific recipes that ONLY use the yolks. Everything else is rejected and unwelcome, as demonstrated by the following quote from the OP:

"you continue to beat a dead horse. Forums are very helpfull, and you can get a lot of information on forums, but the problem is the parties that hijack, or tale a topic completely off the original subject, a topic is often hijacked, , and taken completely away from the original information requested. In this case you should not have answered the post, if you did not have any positive information concerning the information requested, as I specifically stated in my post the following words being copied from it "but I cannot find an egg noodle recipe. Please do not suggest a recipe using whole eggs, as I want true old timy egg noodles, all yolks, no whites , which are used for Angel food cake" You are posting where you do not have any usefull information concerning the original post, and then continue to castigate me, after I just let you have the topic."

OP has made it VERY clear that he is after a particular recipe. OP needs to learn to adapt to forum life.
