What Are Egg Noodles?

Egg noodles are, unsurprisingly, noodles made with eggs. Egg noodles have more flavor than noodles made with just flour, water, and salt. They also tend to be stickier and more flexible than noodles made without eggs.  

How to Make Egg Noodles

You’ll find the full, step-by-step recipe below — but here’s a brief overview of what you can expect when you make homemade egg noodles: 

  1. Stir the dry ingredients in one bowl, then stir in the wet ingredients. 
  2. Knead the dough, then let it rest for 10 minutes. 
  3. Roll out the dough, then cut it into the desired lengths and shapes.

How to Cook Egg Noodles

Allow the egg noodles to air dry at room temperature for at least 15 minutes. Boil the noodles in salted water until they are al dente (tender, but firm and chewy).
