Homemade Noodles

From Verda J.

2 eggs

1 cup flour

2 tablespoons milk or cream

1 teaspoon salt (I cook my noodles in salted water instead of putting salt in the dough)

Put all ingredients in a bowl. Stir eggs and milk first with fork then add flour, stir with fork and mix well, and then mix with hands. Make a stiff but workable dough. If the dough is too dry add a little water, if its too sticky add flour. Roll very thin, using plenty of flour. Roll dough up and cut into noodle strips with knife or leave flat and cut with pizza cutter. Noddles may be dried or cooked immediately.
