Grandma's Butter Noodles

Not MY grandma's recipe but still darn good!  Found this recipe on allrecipes.com.

2 eggs
3 Tbls melted butter, cooled
1 1/4 cups flour
1/4 tsp baking powder
1 tsp salt

In a large bowl, whisk the eggs and butter together with a fork.  Stir in the flour, baking powder and salt until the dough becomes stiff.  Knead on a lightly floured board or in the bowl for a few minutes.  Divide the dough in half.  Roll each piece into a sheet about 1/16 of an inch thick.  Place each sheet onto a dry cloth and set aside for 30 to 45 minutes to partially dry.

When the noodle sheets are somewhat dry, roll up one at a time into a loose spiral and cut into strips as wide as you want using a sharp knife.  Spread out the noodles to dry for about an hour before cooking or storing in freezer containers. 

To use frozen noodles, thaw in the container before using.

To cook the noodles, drop into rapidly boiling water or broth, and cook until tender, 7 to 10 minutes.

*  I don't actually let my noodles dry.  I just cut them and drop them in the boiling liquid.  Fresh noodles take less time to cook so test them around 5 minutes.
