4.6 from 143 reviews

This recipe for 5-Minute Homemade Egg Noodles is a quick and simple way to make fresh, tender noodles using just three basic ingredients: flour, eggs, and salt.

Ingredients

Scale

For the Dough

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Dough: In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour and salt. Create a well in the center, crack the eggs into it, and mix everything together until a rough dough forms. Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for about 5 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic.
  2. Roll and Cut Noodles: Using a rolling pin, roll the dough out into a thin sheet approximately 1/8 inch thick. Then, using a sharp knife or a pizza cutter, cut the dough into thin strips to form the noodles.
  3. Boil Noodles: Bring a large pot of salted water to a rolling boil. Carefully add the fresh noodles and cook for about 2 to 3 minutes, or until the noodles float to the surface and are tender. Drain well and serve as desired.

Notes

  • For a firmer noodle, roll the dough thinner before cutting.
  • Make sure to cook the noodles in plenty of boiling water to prevent sticking.
  • Store extra fresh noodles in the refrigerator for up to 2 days or freeze for longer storage.
  • You can add a splash of olive oil to the dough for a slightly richer flavor.
