The Beautiful Women I Make Noodles with

Noodle making is kind of a big deal in my part of the world. It's not uncommon to find a mother and daughter in the kitchen rolling and cutting noodles for the winter months ahead. I'm blessed because I get to make mine with a very special group of women, my church family. For as long as anyone can remember, the women at my church have put together a yearly fundraiser. You can come and purchase all kinds of wonderful goodies, including these to die for homemade noodles. The women spend months preparing crafts and homemade goods to support our church ministries. I believe the love and laughter shared while noodle making, is what makes them taste so wonderful.

From Scratch Homemade Noodles

What you'll need:

3 Cups Flour - 2 1/4 for mixing and 1/4 for rolling them out

2 teaspoons Salt

4 large eggs

In a mixing bowl fitted with a paddle attachment, add 2 1/4 cups flour and 2 teaspoons of salt. Mix together on a low speed.

Add 4 large eggs to flour mixture and mix on low speed, until flour mixture and eggs come together and form a ball.

Dump onto floured surface and knead about six times. Wrap dough in plastic wrap and let rest for two to four hours.

Roll the dough out thin and let dry for about an hour on a dry cloth.

Cut dough into the width you'd like with a pizza cutter.

Place cut noodles on cloth and let dry over night. (I cover mine with a cloth.) You can use them the next day or place them in Ziploc bags and freeze for future use.

Blueberry Scones

Scones f or the Queen Duchess of Bedford is thought to have begun the British ritual of an afternoon snack, sometime in the early 1840s. The Duchess was tired of feeling famished in the middle of the afternoon and thought a little snack, with tea, would be just the thing. The tradition of eating a light meal with company in the middle of the day became firmly entrenched in British national life. During the early years of Queen Victoria’s reign, the United Kingdom was desperate for rituals of comfort and domesticity. Afternoon tea and scones were just what they needed. How to Prepare Blueberry Scones I always premeasure all need ingredients before getting started. Timing is crucial, especially when baking, so it's much more efficient if you measure ahead of time.
