If the dough is crumbly then too much flour was used. I have made noodles for years and I learned the hard way that the flour should be added last. Add a little as you go till you get the right consistency for rolling.

I had to use three large eggs to get the dry ingredients to form a cohesive ball, in order to roll out. Great tasting, easy and economical to save over the cost of Amish noodles in-store.

This is very near to the recipe I use. I gave this one a try today to see what the difference was. This one is a bit too dry. I usually do 2 cups of flour, 4 eggs, and salt.

Couldn't be simpler! I added an extra egg to get the dough to hold together. I hadn't made homemade noodles in so long, this was a great refresher recipe. Actually had fun making them! My broth is boiling now...time for the ultimate test...Taste!

This was my first time making homemade noodles and was not sure what to expect. However, I agree with some of the previous reviews where the combination of one cup of flour and one egg did not form into a ball. I had to add two eggs to get the right consistency. Tasted GREAT!

I'm 66 years old and have eaten these ALL my life. My mother taught me how to make them. As my grand mother taught her.The only difference is for every 1 egg and 1 cup flour we add 1/2 egg shell water.All 4 of my son's like them. In fact my mother made them and my youngest son told me he liked mine better. I was in heaven because I got my Mama's HaHa I boil the meat (chicken hamburger or beef) and cook my noodles in the broth after the meat is done.

Good basic noodle recipe. My mothers was only slightly diferent. 1 egg and 1 egg of water 1 cup flour pinch of salt and 1/4 tsp or less of baking powder if you want them to "puff up" when you boil them.

My grandmother and her family came from Yugoslavia a couple of generations back. This basic recipe for noodles is all that was ever used. you never add oil, water, or milk to a real homemade noodle recipe.

Well, they were GREAT once I added some water (about 1/3 cup)! I made them in my Cuisinart. Put the egg & flour in, pulsed it, then turned it on & slowly added water thru the top 'til it formed a dough ball.
