No recipes for you. I just use one from Joy of Cooking. Kind of fun, but I do it so infrequently I am very slow at it.

But I want to warn you of a little something I learned about egg noodles. There is a reason to hang them on those little noodle drying dowel sets. I mean a reason other than giving them a thorough airing.

If you lay them out on a floured table to dry out, they may actually suddenly spring up and jump off the table! No kidding. The first time I made egg noodles I had never seen it done and had no one to warn me. I happily went to bed with the noodles drying on the table. When I came to check them the next morning, at least a third of them were on the floor. It's a study in potential energy becoming kinetic (My kid says I think like a chemist in my predilections to always follow the energy, but I am not a chemist.) The noodles throwing themselves over the cliff of my table was a freaky surprise to me, but one of those things that most every kid knew about 2 or 3 generations ago when noodles were more often made at home.
