I’ve never made egg noodles in my life and, up until now, I would have never considered it. After watching this video, I’m intrigued and may give it a try now that I’m old guy, with plenty of time, living in the tropics. Part of what intrigued me about this video is the kitchen and the background music. It took me to another place & time, which felt refreshing and familiar, far from the turbulent epoch we’re currently living through.

You are one awesome lady 😊. My mother learned to make egg noodles the first Christmas that her and my step father were married. That Thanksgiving my stepdad looked around the table and asked “Where’s the noodles?” . I was 12 and we had never had noodle on a holiday. She learned how to make them from his mother and I still expect to see them on the table to this day even though my mother and stepdad are both in Heaven. 😊Maybe this year I will make these, because they look delicious and not too difficult to make. Thank you for sharing. November 2018 🧡

Good for you. My Gramma (c.1957 as I recall) was a crabby po"d bitch who never wanted to come to the US and often stated that she wished she was in war-torn Poland. What a moron. Never learned 5 words in English in the 50+ years she lived here. Never cleaned that grimy house in at least 30 years! My aunt had to go there and do that, and in the process, her first (gorgeous, rich) husband left her (he wasn't gonna waste his one day off going over there cleaning that filthy shithouse!) It was my mother who "outed" her 2 weeks after her (curiously tearless) funeral. Only my sucker dad, and my alcoholic uncle shed a tear. I was 8. I remember that funeral, clearly. The wake was fun!

My mom recently told me my Great Grandma made noodles. She would roll it out thin and leave to dry. A few hours later she would roll up the entire dough tight, making sure it was dry and covered with plenty of flour. She'd then cut it as thinly as possible. She'd fluff them up and put towels on her bed and spread the noodles out to dry all day. My mom has her recipe but hasn't made them. The closest noodle I've made is Kielke. It's a thick short noodle that u cook the same day. It only needs to dry a bit before slicing. My Grandma would drape the strips over the edge of a bowl. We serve it with a fried onion cream sauce and Farmer's sausage. Delicious!

So I was browsing KZfaq and came across this video. I'm in tears. My grandma was named Helen we were extremely close. Her talent was cooking. She was the head cook at school for many many years until she retired. She past away 5 years ago. I still shed a tear everyday. Seeing this video makes me pretend that it's my grandma Helens noodles. Even more ironically her sister is named Gale and we all call her Aunt Gay!!! Haha. Wonderful video We also live in Indiana!!! Clinton Indiana! Wonderful little town.

good recipe but I always let my dough rest for a bit (1/2 to 1 hour) after I've mixed and kneaded it together. That way when I roll it out it isn't so tough and the noodles are softer in the end. Referencing her point about how much you handle the dough makes the noodles softer or more firm, I find the resting period ensures a soft noodle.

@JoeKaye-hn5dt 5 жыл бұрын

Me too. You can roll them out 1/16" thick too. Makes a nice delicate noodle or even a pierogi shell that'll be thin yet stay intact. I try to keep surface flour to a minimum. Makes noodles too rough and sloppy tasting. It's not easy to do. You have to dry them thoroughly then shake that xs flour off.
