My Mom used to make this recipe I thought it was so good that I decided to make it for Chuck when we were dating. When I read the ingredients it called for a can of milk, I looked in the cupboard for a can of milk and found sweetened condensed milk. I put the can of milk in and tasted it and realized they meant to fill the empty can of cream of chicken soup with regular milk. Luckily my mom had more ingredients in the cupboard and luckily Chuck didn't judge me on my cooking skills which have since gotten much better.

Grandmas Homemade Noodles



Ingredients:
1 to 2 cups flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
2Tablespoons milk
1 Tablespoon lukewarm water
2 eggs

directions
sift 1 cup flour and salt together. Put well in center. Add eggs, milk and water. Beat with fork until mixed well. Knead for 15 minutes. adding flour as needed. Cover, I usually use plastic wrap, let rest for 10 minutes. Roll out as thin as possible. Remember noodles will almost double in size after cooking. Cut into strips. Boil until noodles are cooked through, about 20 to 30 minutes.

These noodles are so yummy! My Grandma used to make these noodles every Thanksgiving and put them in here chicken noodle soup. We always looked forward to this dish. Now it is one of my kids favorite dish.
