Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 items large eggs
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons water
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 cup ham (diced)
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper (freshly ground)
- 1 tablespoon parsley (chopped, optional for garnish)
- 4 cups chicken broth
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour and salt.
Create a well in the center of the flour mixture and crack the eggs into it. Add water to the well.
Using a fork, beat the eggs and water, gradually incorporating the flour until a shaggy dough begins to form.
Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and knead for 8-10 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic. Cover with a clean towel and let rest for 10 minutes.
Roll out the dough on a floured surface to about 1/8-inch thickness. Cut into thin strips (about 1/4-inch wide) to form noodles.
Bring the chicken broth to a boil in a large pot. Add the noodles to the boiling broth and cook for 5-7 minutes, or until tender. Remove the noodles using a slotted spoon, reserving 1 cup of the cooking broth.
In a large skillet over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the diced ham and cook until lightly browned, about 3 minutes.
Add the cooked noodles to the skillet with the ham. Pour in the reserved chicken broth as needed to keep the noodles moist. Toss to combine.
Season with black pepper to taste and garnish with chopped parsley if desired.
Serve warm and enjoy your Classic Country Egg Noodles with Ham!
