A delightful homemade noodle recipe with a touch of butter for added richness.
Crack the eggs into a mixing bowl and whisk until smooth.
Whisking the eggs thoroughly ensures a uniform texture in the dough.
Add the milk, salt, and melted butter to the eggs and mix well.
Ensure the butter is slightly cooled before adding to prevent cooking the eggs.
Gradually incorporate the flour into the mixture until a stiff dough forms.
Add the flour slowly to avoid lumps and achieve the right dough consistency.
Knead the dough on a floured surface until smooth and elastic.
Kneading activates the gluten, giving the noodles their chewy texture.
Roll out the dough thinly on a floured surface.
Roll evenly to ensure consistent noodle thickness.
Let the rolled dough rest for 20 minutes to relax the gluten.
Resting the dough makes it easier to cut and handle.
Slice the dough into thin strips using a sharp knife.
Use a ruler as a guide for even noodle widths.
Spread the noodles on a floured baking sheet and let dry for 2 hours.
Drying the noodles prevents them from sticking during cooking.
Cook the noodles in boiling water or broth for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Stirring ensures the noodles cook evenly and don't clump together.
Serve the noodles hot with your favorite sauce or in a soup.
Garnish with fresh herbs for added flavor and presentation.
