OOOOPSIE...

So y'all might have seen that we are doing the Big Re-Do over at That House, moving furniture, changing rooms around.

I unpacked a box yesterday, searching for something which I didn't find, probably because the contents didn't match the label. It had probably been repacked a couple times along the way last year.

One of the things I DID find?

Gram Kae's noodle recipe.

<insert eNNNOOORRRRmous blush here>

Um, whoever came up with the noodle recipe I thought was my gramma's, I am sincerely sorry. I probably found it on the internet.

The odd thing is, I made gram's noodle recipe (without realizing that's what it was) the other night out of desperation--I was out of milk--and *whispers* I didn't like it near as much as I like the other one.

SO, for Gram Kae's noodle recipe:

2 cups flour
2 eggs
1/3 cup water
1/4 tsp salt
1 cup flour, plus extra for kneading

Beat eggs water and salt with a fork till very foamy. Slowly mix in 2 cups flour and continue beating with fork; knead in up to 1 cup additional flour if necessary, to make a stiff dough. Roll out with plenty of flour. "Makes enough for 2 big noodle sheets."

This was a woman who stretched strudel dough until it draped like a tablecloth; what her idea of "big" was I do not know... but if you're not feeding five hungry children, you might wish to halve the recipe the first time!
