Homemade Egg Noodles


Homemade Egg Noodles:

3 eggs
1 tsp salt
1/2 cup water or milk
3 cups flour, divided

Whisk together the eggs, salt, water and 1 cup flour. Gradually add remaining flour, half a cup at a time and mix until smooth.
Divide dough into 6 pieces. Place on well floured countertop. Roll each strip through the pasta machine on the thick setting making sure that the dough is generously sprinkled with flour on both sides before rolling it. Cut each piece in half and then roll it through the pasta maker on the thin setting; again making sure that both sides of the dough is generously sprinkled with flour.
Next place each strip onto cookie sheets and bake at 350 for 3-4 minutes.
Remove from pan and roll through the pasta machine to create either wide or fine egg noodles. Can be cooked right away or allow to dry on countertop for several hours or overnight. Put dry noodles in bags or containers. Store in the freezer.
To cook the noodles: place desired amount of noodles into a pot of boiling water. Simmer for about 4 minutes. Put noodles into a sieve. Add a large spoonful of margarine into the noodles to prevent them sticking together.

Never Fail Pie Dough

Never Fail Pie Dough:

5 cups flour, divided
1 cup Butter/Margarine*
1 cup Lard/Shortening
3 tbsp Brown Sugar
2 tsp Salt
1 tsp Baking Powder
1 egg
2 tbsp Vinegar
3/4 cup Water

Measure 4 cups of flour and the remaining dry ingredients into a large bowl.
Cut in Butter and Lard. * You may choose to use all Lard as well. I prefer the taste of Butter in it as well.
Break egg into a measuring cup; beat with a fork. Stir in vinegar and water. Pour the liquid a little at a time into the flour mixture; tossing and mixing until all the liquid is absorbed. Now gradually add the remaining cup  of flour into the dough. Cover and chill in the refrigerator until ready to use.
This should make 3-4 double crusted pies.
Any leftover dough can be wrapped and frozen.
