Homemade Egg Noodle Ingredients
- Flour – All purpose flour is fine, or you can mix in some whole wheat
- Eggs – medium or large
- Milk – Depending on the size of the egg, you may need a little less or a little more milk. Gauge as you mix your dough.
- Salt – just a pinch!
How do you make egg noodles? (Step-by-step)
⭐ First, put the flour in a large mixing bowl and make a well in the center. Add eggs, milk, and salt to well and whisk to combine.
⭐ Then, roll or cut dough into noodles.
⭐ Next, drop noodles into boiling water or soup and cook for 5-7 minutes.
⭐ Finally, drain and serve with butter, or ladle out some yummy homemade soup!
Preparation
Can you pan fry egg noodles?
You can pan fry the cooked noodles. After cooking and draining, add to some melted butter in a saute pan. Do not crowd the pan and don’t over stir. You want to develop some crusty bits, which are a nice side to a meat dish like pot roast or meatloaf.
What can I boil egg noodles in?
You can boil the noodles in salted water, soups, or water to which you have added vegetable, chicken, or beef bouillon cubes for flavor.
How can I flavor them?
Egg noodles can be flavored with many things! One of my favorites is a mix of olive oil, Italian seasonings, garlic and onion powders, and a healthy sprinkle of Parmesan cheese.
You could also go for Asian flavors with some soy sauce and a sprinkle of sesame seeds.
Leftovers and storage
How long do they last in the refrigerator?
Egg Noodles will last 3-5 days in the refrigerator.
Can you freeze egg noodles?
Yes, you can freeze the noodles. After cutting, allow them to dry overnight and then store in freezer safe container. To use, you can take from freezer and drop directly into soup or boiling water and cook as directed (they may need a couple extra minutes, so keep an eye on them).
How do you reheat egg noodles?
You can reheat the noodles if they are in a soup or sauce by zapping them in the microwave. If they are plain, you can briefly drop them in some boiling water. If they are in butter or a light sauce, reheat in a skillet on medium heat.
Can you cook them in a crock pot or slow cooker?
If you are cooking soup in your crock pot and want to add egg noodles, it is best to let the soup cook completely, then add the noodles at the end to cook for about 20 minutes or so.
Frequently asked questions
What are egg noodles made of?
The basic recipe consists of just egg, flour, a dash of milk, and a pinch of salt. You can jazz them up with spices, herbs, and by cooking them in broth or sauces.

Tools we love
- End grain cutting board – This is my absolute favorite cutting board and the one that I get the most compliments on. And p.s. I have a lot of cutting boards. It really is absolutely stunning, and knows how to take a beating. We use it every single day!
- Calphalon everyday pan – This is a 12? two handled pan that you will use pretty much every day. Which, of course is why it’s called an everyday pan. I have this one and the Le Creuset version. I use a whole lot of pots and pans in my line of work (apologies to my husband, the dishwasher!) and these are by far my most frequently used pans.

My mom always made egg noodles with chicken broth-yummy. We fought over leftovers!
Thanks so much for posting this!! I always wanted to make my own chicken soup!

These egg noodles were so delicious, my son loved them.
Not sure why I never thought to make my own egg noodles before. But you make it look so easy so now I will for sure. Thank you for sharing.
Amazing! My favorite type of noodle. I made these and they were a hit in with my family!
I make noodles a lot. I never used a recipe before but wanted to make just enough for my husband and I so I tried your measurements. Worked super! We had a couple noodles left for the dogs but my stroganoff tasted great with them as did my husband’s spaghetti sauce on his (our traditional way to eat them). I’m glad I now have some measurements to go by that work! I knew I could have a good chance of success since like me, you add milk to your noodles!
so glad you enjoyed!!!
Quick and easy recipe, I threw the noodles in with chicken and veggies and broth into my instant pot, then I read the info you wrote about putting them in a crockpot. I wasnt sure what I would see when I opened the lid, but the noodles were perfect!
yay! i’m so glad it worked! 🙂

Love them with butter!! Will be trying your recipe soon.
I love homemade egg noodles. The recipe I use is the one my Grandmother use to make which is about a hundred years old. Before she passed we finally figured out a recipe I could use. When
she made them she would pile flour on her kitchen table make a well in the middle added her eggs started mixing them by hand and adding egg shell with water till she got her dough the consistency she wanted then she let them rest before she rolled them out paper thing. The recipe I use is alot like yours except I use three egg yolks and one egg. Enjoy your blog Gail Galipp
My mother in law taught me how to make noodles. She uses ice water instead of milk.
I use the noodles with a simmered chicken to make chicken noodle soup. So good!
