Milk Noodles
Creamy milk noodles with delicate egg and flour strands, accented by cinnamon sugar, perfect for a comforting dessert or breakfast treat for family and friends.
Ingredients
Instructions
- Combine eggs and 1 cup of milk in a bowl; mix well.
- Add sifted flour and salt; mix well.
- Stir in just enough milk until stiff dough forms; knead well.
- Roll into a thin rectangle on a lightly floured surface; dust with additional flour.
- Cut into thin strips and cook as desired, then serve with cinnamon and sugar mixture.
Tips & Substitutions
For a smoother dough, ensure the eggs are at room temperature before mixing. If you prefer a richer flavor, consider adding a pinch of nutmeg alongside the cinnamon and sugar mixture. You can substitute all-purpose flour with whole wheat flour for a healthier option or use gluten-free flour for a gluten-free version. If the dough is too sticky, add a little more flour; if too dry, a splash of milk can help.
Serving Suggestions
Serve the milk noodles warm, generously dusted with the cinnamon and sugar mixture. They pair beautifully with a side of fresh fruit, such as berries or bananas, for a refreshing touch. You can also enjoy them with a dollop of yogurt or a scoop of ice cream for dessert. For a heartier breakfast, consider serving them alongside scrambled eggs or bacon.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftover cooked milk noodles in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, simply place the noodles in a pan over low heat, adding a splash of milk to prevent sticking. Stir until warmed through. Alternatively, you can microwave them in a covered dish with a bit of milk for about 1-2 minutes, checking frequently.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I make this recipe ahead of time?
Yes, you can prepare the dough a day in advance and store it in the refrigerator wrapped in plastic wrap. When ready to use, simply roll it out and cut it into strips. Note that the texture may change slightly when refrigerated, but it will still cook well.
How can I adjust the sweetness of the noodles?
The sweetness can easily be adjusted by varying the amount of cinnamon and sugar mixture you use when serving. If you prefer a sweeter dough, you could also add sugar directly to the dough mixture, but start with a small amount and taste as you go.
What can I do if my dough is too sticky?
If your dough becomes too sticky while mixing, gradually add more flour, a tablespoon at a time, until it reaches a manageable consistency. Dust your work surface and rolling pin with flour to prevent sticking while rolling out the dough.
