Drop Noodles

Drop Noodles

This is a recipe that is from my Grandma (Mamus) so it is not written down any where – when very you asked how to make something all she would tell you is a handful of this and that and a few spoons full of this and that, and throw it together and cook till it was done, how long or at what temperature was a mystery. I hope this works for you as the measurements are very loosely translated. I hope I am clear enough, ask if I am not.

You will need ….
Large bowl to mix flour, eggs and water.
2-3 eggs – amount of eggs is dependent on how many noodles you want to make.
Flour – amount unknown- again depends on how many eggs used and how many noodles you want – and the amount needed to achieve correct consistency.
Salt – again amount used is relevant to the quantity of eggs and flour used.
Water – add till you have the consistency correct.

Large pot of boiling water to cook noodles.

Ok I would start small, like with one egg and build from there. Try your best to achieve correct balance, which is why I say start small.

Take egg / eggs and beat with whisk till toughly blended.
Add water – continue to beat with whisk till you have a “ medium thinish” consistency – so not too thin / not too thick.
Add flour and some salt a pinch or two – continue to mix until you have
a thick doughy consistency – you need to be able to spoon out mixture, and have it stay together as you drop into boiling water.
If it is too runny, noodles will not stay together when cooking or on spoon.

Spoon out dough with teaspoon- drop into boiling water slowly- you may need a knife to help spoon noodle dough out into the boiling water.
Reduce the temperature to keep water boiling but not to over flow pot while you are adding dough mixture.
Stir noodles to avoid sticking together and to pot- I use Pam on bottom of pot.
Cook ten minutes or till done.
The noodles can also be fed to kids with small amount of butter on them or plain – they usually like them more than the soup.

Good luck I hope this works and tastes good!
