Amish Egg Noodles

I play around with this original recipe a little bit.  For example, near the end I'll add a little whole milk to make the noodles extra creamy.  Either way, these noodles are easy to make and delicious.

Amish Egg Noodles

Ingredients

6 tablespoons butter, divided
28 ounces chicken broth
1 chicken bouillon cube
12 ounces extra wide egg noodles
1 teaspoon parsley flakes
Salt and pepper, to taste

Directions 

In a large pan, brown two tablespoons of butter over medium heat.

Pour the chicken stock and bouillon cube into the pan and bring to a boil.

Add the egg noodles to the chicken stock and return to a boil. Cover the pot and remove from the heat.

Let the noodles set for 30 minutes, stirring every 10 minutes or so.

Test the noodles for doneness. If they are not cooked through, turn the heat back on and cook for 1-2 minutes until noodles are tender.

Top with the remaining 4 tablespoons of butter, parsley, and salt and pepper to taste.

Serve immediately or leave in the pan, covered, until ready to serve. These will stay warm for 20 more minutes or so with no problems.

Homemade Cornbread

Cornbread is so easy to make, I don't know why I used the stuff in a box for so long.  This is so much better.

Note, I often need to cook for longer than 20-24 mins (maybe more like 25-30?).  One of these days I want to cook it in a pre-heated skillet.

Homemade Cornbread

Ingredients

1 cup yellow cornmeal
1 cup all-purpose flour
⅔ cup sugar
4 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
1 cup milk
2 large eggs
½ cup unsalted butter melted

Directions

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Lightly grease an 8-x-10-inch (or 9-x-9-inch) baking dish. Set aside.

In a large mixing bowl, combine cornmeal, flour, sugar, baking powder and salt.

Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour in milk, eggs and butter. Stir until just combined, then pour batter into the prepared pan.

Bake for 20-24 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
