Grandma Frederick’s Homemade Chicken Noodle Soup

Noodles

1. Using a fork, mix the eggs, salt, and flour until a soft dough is formed.
   • So that the dough won’t be too stiff, try adding the flour 1/2 cup at a time until the correct consistency is reached: soft and sticky dough.
2. Turn out onto a well floured surface and knead more flour into the dough until it is no longer sticky and is smooth and firm to the touch.
3. Roll it very thin on a well floured surface.
4. Let it air dry for about 1 hour
5. Using a knife or a pastry cutter, cut the dough into very thin slices.
   • Sprinkle with flour as you go to keep the dough from sticking to the counter and one another
6. Let the noodles air dry for several hours, stirring several times so that they all dry evenly.
