Tried and True Recipe for Noodles by Hand
4 medium eggs
4 half eggshells water
2 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. salt
flour (can be white, wheat, amaranth, spelt, triticale, rice, bean, etc.)
Mix eggs, water, baking powder and salt thoroughly. Add enough flour to form stiff dough. (I'm not saying how much flour, because different flours have different absorbency and will require different amounts. Just add til it "feels" like a stiff dough.) Roll out thin and cut into strips. Let dry. Drop into boiling chicken, ham, or beef broth. Stir lightly. Then cover and boil, without stirring, until tender (approx.. 10 minutes).
