Ingredients
Instructions
- Mix together the Egg Beaters, flour, Wesson oil, salt, and baking powder until well combined.
- Roll out the dough on a floured surface to the desired thickness.
- Dry the rolled-out dough slightly, then cut into noodles of your preferred size.
Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, consider adding a teaspoon of garlic powder or herbs like parsley or oregano to the dough. If you don't have Egg Beaters, you can substitute with 2 beaten eggs. Ensure your surface is well-floured while rolling out the dough to prevent sticking. You can also use semolina flour for a firmer noodle texture.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use whole wheat flour instead of all-purpose flour?
Yes, you can use whole wheat flour for a healthier option, but the noodles may be denser. You might need to adjust the liquid slightly to achieve the right dough consistency.
How can I make these noodles gluten-free?
To make gluten-free noodles, substitute the all-purpose flour with a gluten-free flour blend. Be sure to add a binding agent like xanthan gum if your blend doesn't contain it, to help the noodles hold together.
What sauces go well with egg noodles?
Egg noodles are versatile and pair well with a variety of sauces. Popular choices include creamy Alfredo, savory beef stroganoff, or a light lemon butter sauce. For a unique twist, try them with a rich sauce from 2 Chocolate Pies for dessert!
