Charmedone!! That's what my grandma done. BUT there was one big problem when she done this.........I have 3 brothers, and we would eat them while they were drying!!!Sorry, I love this site. And it brings back such wonderful childhood memories......

great job! so when are we all invited over for dinner?

just kidding looks great. now that you have made the egg noodles it is time to move to the harder stuff.....i love to make pasta.

I love making pasta too! There's nothing like throwing some fresh herbs in the dough for flavor. Hot, buttered herb noodles as a side. Mmmmm!

Wow, very impressive! I just might have to try that someday.

I have never dried my noodles, I cut them and put them straight into the pot! What does the drying process do for them??

 

[Rolsjo]

The only reason to dry them is if you want to store them to use later. Throwing them right in the pot works well! Too bad my hubby wants pizza tonight or I'd be making noodles instead of pizza dough. Well, there's always tomorrow.

What time is dinner? I will be on the high speed ferry and I'm never late for meals!

Thanks for sharing and the pictures made my mouth water!

I am on my fifth batch of noodles, talked with a pro noodle maker at sat market.
she told me not to refrigerate dough for an hour, and cut noodles, then rest an hour,, noodles stay togther better.
When I did this I could use small portions of dough and roll very fine, I use a rolling pin, I don't need any more gadjets.

I also do not use any water, just egg and olive oil.
I roll out onto plain flour, and use my heavy cookie sheet to dry. Just toss the noodles with a little flour and let rest, then no fear of dropping.
1 cup of flour/ 2 eggs gives three portions of hearty noodles.
egg noodles are fun!!
I am happy you made some and had sucess, mine are improving, my first batch was heavy and gluey....
did you boil in heavily salted water?
alas family wants cornflake pork chops with oven fries for dinner, made the CI rescipe last week... so noodles tomorrow
