Amish Butter Noodles 1965

Ingredients

• 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 2 eggs, beaten
• 1/2 cup milk
• 2 tablespoons butter
• 1 drop yellow food coloring (optional)

Directions

1. 1

   In a large bowl, stir together the flour and salt. Add the beaten egg, milk, and butter, and coluring. Knead dough until smooth, about 5 minutes. If you have to add extra flour for a nice baby bum soft dough then do so now. You want a smooth soft, but not sticky to the counter dough. Let rest in a covered bowl for 10 minutes. I usually leave on a floured board with the bowl inverted on top.

2. 2

   On a floured surface, roll out to 1/8 or 1/4 inch thickness. Cut into desired lengths and shapes.

3. 3

   Allow to air dry before cooking.

4. 4

   To cook fresh pasta, in a large pot with boiling salted water cook until al dente.
