Grandma’s Holiday Egg Noodles
  1. 1

    Combine the eggs, egg yolks, water, and salt in a bowl; beat with an electric mixer until blended. Beat in 2 cups flour. Stir in 1 cup flour with a wooden spoon. Add more flour until the dough is as thick as you can stir. Divide the dough into 4 equal balls.

  2. 2

    Generously flour a pastry cloth, a rolling pin, and 4 sheets of waxed paper. Roll each dough ball on the pastry cloth to 1/8 to 1/4 inch thick. Let the dough rest for 45 minutes.

  3. 3

    Flip each piece of dough (it will be difficult to flip) and let it rest for another 45 minutes.

  4. 4

    Stack the dough pieces and slice them into noodles. Let the noodles dry for about 3 hours.

  5. 5

    Bring the chicken broth to a boil in a large pot. Add the noodles and cook, uncovered, until soft with no bite and the broth has thickened, 15 to 20 minutes.
