Ingredients
Instructions
- Mix together the flour, egg yolks, whole eggs, baking powder, and butter to form a dough.
- Divide the dough into five cakes.
- Run each cake through a noodle cutter on the #5 setting, then cut in half and run through on the #3 setting.
- Use scissors to cut the noodles to your desired length and run through the cutter again.
- Place the cut noodles on a cookie sheet and freeze immediately. Once frozen, bag and keep frozen until ready to use.
- When ready to cook, put the frozen noodles into boiling broth and cook for about 20 minutes.
Tips & Substitutions
For best results, use high-protein flour for a firmer noodle texture. If you don't have enough egg yolks, you can substitute with whole eggs, but the noodles may be slightly less rich. Make sure to dust the noodles with extra flour while cutting to prevent sticking. If you prefer a different flavor, consider adding herbs or spices to the dough for a unique twist.
Serving Suggestions
Serve the noodles in a rich broth with your choice of proteins and vegetables for a hearty meal. They can be complemented with toppings like green onions, sesame oil, or chili flakes for added flavor. These noodles pair beautifully with German Drop Dumplings for a comforting feast.
Storage & Reheating
Store the cut noodles in an airtight container or zip-top bag in the freezer. They can be kept frozen for up to two months. To reheat, simply drop the frozen noodles into boiling broth without thawing. This ensures they cook evenly and maintain their texture.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I make the dough ahead of time?
Yes, you can prepare the dough a day in advance. Wrap it tightly in plastic wrap and refrigerate. Allow it to come to room temperature before rolling and cutting to ensure it is workable.
What can I do if the dough is too dry?
If your dough feels too dry, add a little water, one teaspoon at a time, until it reaches the desired consistency. Alternatively, you can incorporate an extra egg to help bind it together.
Can I use whole wheat flour instead of all-purpose flour?
Yes, whole wheat flour can be used for a healthier option, but it may result in denser noodles. You might want to mix it with all-purpose flour for a lighter texture while still enjoying the health benefits.
