Step-by-step pictures for how to make five minute homemade egg noodle recipe
- Start by whisking together the 2 eggs, 2 tbsp milk, 1/2 tsp salt, and a pinch of pepper.
- Depending on the day and the size of your eggs, it will take between 1 1/2 and 2 cups of flour to make your dough. Start by adding about 1 1/4 cups of flour. Mix with a fork.
- This is what mine looked like with 1 1/4 cup flour mixed in…too sticky. I added about 1/2 cup more and continued mixing with a fork.
- This is what you want the dough to look like before you start to knead it into a ball, just a little sticky with some loose flour around the edges and bottom. I only used 1 3/4 cup of flour to get to this point.
- Using your hand, knead the dough (right in the bowl you mixed in) until all the flour is incorporated and it becomes a ball of sorts.
- It is perfectly normal for your hands to look like this after doing this job. If the dough seems excessively sticky, you can add a little more flour.
- Plop your dough out onto a generously floured surface and roll it out using a rolling pin.
- If the dough starts to stick to your surface, carefully lift it up like so and slide a little more four under it.
- Your dough should be this thin when you are done rolling it out.
- Use a pizza cutter to cut dough into noodles between 1/4- and 1/2-inch wide.
- Carefully pick up noodles in small batches, so they will not all smash together. Gently place them into the boiling soup.
- The noodles will float to the top of the soup while they are cooking. Allow them to cook for 10-15 minutes and then serve!
Yummy! You did it!!!
I hope you love this recipe as much as my family does! Don’t forget to try my Classic Homemade Chicken Noodle Soup. It is delicious!
Tips for Making Five Minute Homemade Egg Noodles
- These noodles can also be made ahead and frozen. If you want to freeze the noodles, let them dry out before putting them in a freezer-safe container. It takes them a few hours to dry out. Leave them on the counter to do so, and flip them after a couple of hours so the other side can dry, too. I never bother to freeze them, though, because they are so easy to whip up fresh! 🙂
- If the dough starts to stick to the surface when you are rolling it out, carefully lift it up and slide a little more flour under it.

Oh my! I want to make these & just cook them plain, then drown them in butter. I’m Kim & I have a serious carb addiction. 🙂
You deserve it after taking down all that Christmas decor today! Go for it! I won’t tell anyone!
My grandmother, my mother and aunts all make (or made) these noodles…as do I. I can say that this is SO easy, with very little effort and your chicken noodle soup is so much better with homemade noodles. :-)))
Amen Kathy! This recipe has been passed down in my family too! It is the BEST and it makes awesome Chicken Noodle Soup. 🙂
Good recipe! Do you ever dry them?
Hi Laura,
My mom did all the time, and I have once. They store well in the freezer that way. I just find it is easier for me to just mi up a quick batch when I need them, because drying them out takes up quite a bit of space.

I love it Maria, can’t wIt to give it a try!
🙂
Awesome! I have always wanted to make my own noodles but thought it would be way too hard and time consuming. I see now that that is not the case. I can not wait to make these!

How do you dry these noodles? I want to make a bunch so I have some ready on those busy days.
Roll them out on a large flat surface, and leave them there for a few hours until they dry. If possible flip them over at some point to get both sides nice and dry. Then when they are dry, carefully roll up the dry sheet of noodle and using a knife slice them (kind of like you do when making cinnamon rolls) place the sliced noodles carefully into Freezer Ziploc bags and put them in the freezer until ready to use.
I LOVE homemade noodles but, had no idea how easy they were to make. I made them last night with your chicken noodle soup and they are AMAZING!! Thanks so much for sharing your recipes. YUM!! 😋
Homemade noodles are truly the best and so much easier to make then people think! I am so glad you gave them a try! I love hearing that you enjoyed the soup Linda! Thank you so much for letting me know. Made my day!
How well do these noodles hold up with leftover soup like the next day reheated
Really, really well. I feel like this soup gets better the second day.
Just made them! 😋 easy and they’re ingredients I have stocked up on a regular. Thank you!
Awesome! So glad you liked them!
I made these last night for some fettuccine Alfredo and they were delicious! I may have made them a bit thick but I love hearty noodles. Thank you so much for this super easy recipe!
Yum! So glad you enjoyed the recipe. I like thick noodles too.
Hi! tried this today to make with regular pasta sauce as was out of noodles and wasn’t worth trip to the store. It is such a great recipe! In the future if I ever need to make them nondairy can the milk be substituted with water? Or is a plant based milk a better option?
Hi Lulu, I haven’t ever tried anything but milk but it would be worth a shot. I would try almond milk or water. But cut it back by a tablespoon or so.
