HI! I feel super silly asking but am new(er) to cooking from scratch with flour and just the other day realized I was using self rising and all purpose interchangeably (but still adding in the leaveners eeek)
When I see a recipe like this egg noodle one I’m excited to try — if it doesn’t list what kind of flour should I assume that it means all purpose?Reply
- Jill
Yes Deborah always use all purpose in the recipes unless it states otherwise. Don’t worry about the mistake we have all been there done that. That is how we learn. Be sure to holler if you have any questions we love to help.

question, how do you store the noodles? I have been wanting to make them but I am a bit unsure about how to store the noodles that will not be consumed immediately.

To store in the fridge let them air dry for a couple of hours then put in airtight container. They will keep for about 3 days. To keep longer you can air dry them for about an hour and put in a freezer bag or container and store in freezer for up to 8 mons

I always lay the uncut noodle “rounds” out on waxed or parchment paper to dry well before cutting them into strips. This keeps them from sticking together while you cut and when they are added to the pot.

Has Tawra ever tried to make these with gluten-free flour? I am hopeful that if I add enough xanthan gum, they won’t fall apart as soon as they hit the boiling broth. I may attempt it anyway, they look so yummy. Cheers!

No she hasn’t Rae but you could try a half of batch and see what happens.

Rae, did you ever try the noodle recipe with GF flour? Curious how it turned out.
ThanksReply

If I am using these for a crockpot chicken noodle soup…should I boil them on the stove then add to the crockpot right before service or add them to the crockpot for the last 15 min so they won’t get soggy?
Reply

Lindsay you can add them to the crock pot at the end of the cooking time if you want but crock pots vary so much that you will just have to experiment with yours – they may take around 10 mins on high to cook just to give you a ball park figure. To be honest I don’t use a crock pot any more for most things because it does make the texture so different than if cooked in a pan so I just put my chicken noodle soup on the stove on the lowest setting and it does even better for me than a crock pot.

Can you just cook the noodles without drying, right after mixing and cutting?
Reply
- Jill
Yes you can Mary Jo. They only take about 3 mins to cook though.

Why do my noodles break into pieces
Reply
- Jill
Not sure Jackie without seeing them but a couple of things you maybe drying them too long or if they are breaking before you are drying them you maybe need to add a tiny bit more liquid. It is really hard to tell sometimes with out knowing the full story.

Thanks for such a great frugal recipe! I can vouch that these are delicious! My mother taught me to make these. Our recipe is pretty much the same, except without the milk, and they turn out fine, but I may try adding it next time. I usually boil a whole chicken, pull the meat off, and then boil the noodles in my broth, so good.
