Ingredients
Instructions
- Beat the egg and add milk and salt.
- Add flour gradually until the mixture becomes stiff.
- Roll the mixture on a well-floured pastry cloth and let sit for approximately 20 minutes.
- Fold the pastry in half and cut into strips.
- Leave strips long enough to make them fun to eat.
- Use immediately or refrigerate until ready to use.
Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, consider adding a pinch of garlic powder or herbs to the dough. If you prefer a gluten-free version, substitute all-purpose flour with a gluten-free blend. Make sure to keep your work surface floured to prevent sticking while rolling out the noodles. If you're short on time, you can skip the resting period, although letting the dough sit enhances its texture.
Serving Suggestions
These egg noodles can be enjoyed with a variety of sauces; they pair beautifully with a creamy Alfredo or a simple garlic and olive oil dressing. For a heartier meal, serve them alongside sautéed vegetables or grilled chicken. You can also toss them with pesto for a delightful flavor that's reminiscent of La Crepe Francaise. Garnish with fresh herbs for an inviting presentation.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftover noodles in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. To reheat, simply boil in salted water for a couple of minutes until heated through. You can also sauté them in a bit of butter for added flavor. If freezing, lay them flat on a baking sheet until firm, then transfer to a freezer bag for longer storage.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use whole wheat flour instead of all-purpose flour?
Yes, you can substitute whole wheat flour for all-purpose flour to create a healthier version of the noodles. Keep in mind that whole wheat flour may absorb more liquid, so you might need to add a little extra milk or water to achieve the right consistency.
How do I know when the noodles are done cooking?
Fresh egg noodles typically cook quickly, usually in 2-4 minutes in boiling water. They are done when they float to the surface and are tender but still have a slight bite (al dente). Taste a noodle to check for doneness before draining.
Can I make the dough ahead of time?
Absolutely! You can prepare the dough ahead of time and store it in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours. Just be sure to wrap it tightly in plastic wrap to prevent it from drying out. When you're ready to use it, let it come to room temperature before rolling out.
