How to Make Homemade Egg Noodles

Homemade egg yolk noodles are not so hard to do as it may seem. Lapsha (in russian cuisine) or klusky (in ukrainian cuisine) are as easy to do as simple egg and flour dough.

It is also a good way to use leftover yolks if you needed egg whites for some other dish.

Boiled homemade egg noodles can be served as a side dish or added to meat or chicken broth or soup.

Ingredients:

  • 1 egg (you will need only yolk)
  • 1/4 cup of water
  • 1/2 teaspoon of salt
  • About cup of flour

How to prepare, step-by-step:

  1. Prepare ingredients: separate egg yolk from egg white, you will not need egg white for this recipe:
