Rigg'S Noodles
Rigg's Noodles are homemade, tender noodles with a simple, comforting flavor, perfect for pairing with broths or stir-fries, ideal for those who enjoy fresh, hand-cut pasta.
Ingredients
Instructions
- Mix eggs and milk together in a bowl.
- Add self-rising flour gradually until the mixture becomes sticky and thick.
- Roll the dough out thin on a floured surface.
- Cut the rolled dough into strips to form noodles.
- Leave the noodles laid out to dry for a short period.
- Cook the noodles in your choice of broth until tender.
Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, consider adding a pinch of salt or herbs to the egg and milk mixture. If you don't have self-rising flour, you can substitute all-purpose flour with a teaspoon of baking powder for every cup used. Be careful not to overwork the dough; it should remain slightly sticky for the best texture. This recipe is also versatile enough to be paired with sauces from Aunt Donnah'S Roast Possum.
Serving Suggestions
Serve the noodles in a rich broth, garnished with fresh herbs or vegetables for added color and nutrition. They pair beautifully with a side of steamed greens or a salad. Consider topping with grated cheese or a drizzle of olive oil for extra flavor. For a delightful dessert, serve alongside Filled Apricot Cookies.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftover noodles in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, simply add them to a pot of boiling broth for a few minutes or microwave with a splash of water for about 1 minute until heated through. This helps retain the noodles' texture and flavor.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use whole milk instead of egg shell milk?
Yes, you can substitute whole milk for the egg shell milk if you prefer a creamier texture. Just blend the eggs and milk well before mixing with the flour. This will enhance the flavor and richness of your noodles.
What if my dough is too dry?
If your dough feels too dry, gradually add a little more milk, one tablespoon at a time, until it reaches the desired sticky consistency. Be cautious not to add too much at once, as you want to maintain the right texture for rolling out the noodles.
Can I freeze the noodles?
Yes, you can freeze the noodles for later use. Lay them out on a baking sheet to freeze individually, then transfer to a freezer bag once solid. They can be cooked straight from frozen in boiling broth, making for a quick meal option.
