Never Fail Noodles
Never Fail Noodles are simple, creamy, and versatile noodles with rich egg yolk flavor, ideal for quick meals or comforting dishes, suitable for all ages.
Ingredients
Instructions
- Beat the egg yolks slightly.
- Add butter and canned milk; mix well.
- Stir until smooth.
- Add salt and baking powder.
- Gradually add flour until the dough is easy to roll out.
Tips & Substitutions
For the best texture, ensure your butter is softened before mixing it with the egg yolks and canned milk. If you don't have canned milk, you can substitute with regular milk or half-and-half. Gradually add flour until the dough reaches the desired consistency; it should be easy to roll out but not sticky. You can also incorporate herbs or spices to customize the flavor.
Serving Suggestions
Serve these noodles with your favorite sauce or toss them with sautéed vegetables for a quick meal. They pair beautifully with the Broccoli And Cheese Ball for a delicious side dish. Consider adding a sprinkle of fresh herbs or grated cheese on top for extra flavor. Also, they can be a great base for creamy or tomato-based sauces.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftover noodles in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, simply boil them for a few minutes or sauté in a pan with a little butter to restore their texture. If freezing, lay them flat on a baking sheet until solid, then transfer to a freezer bag for up to a month.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use whole eggs instead of just egg yolks?
Using whole eggs instead of just egg yolks will change the texture and flavor of the noodles. The yolks add richness, while the whites can make the dough lighter and more delicate. If you choose to use whole eggs, be sure to adjust the flour accordingly to maintain the right dough consistency.
What can I do if my dough is too sticky?
If your dough is sticky, gradually add more flour, a tablespoon at a time, until it reaches a workable consistency. Make sure to knead it gently to avoid overworking the gluten, which can make the noodles tough. Dust your work surface and rolling pin with flour to help with rolling out the dough.
Can these noodles be made ahead of time?
Yes, you can make the noodles ahead of time. Once rolled out, you can cut them into your desired shape and either cook them immediately or let them dry for a few hours before storing. Dried noodles can be stored in an airtight container and cooked later, making them convenient for meal prep.
