Homemade Noodles

I use these primarily for homemade Chicken Noodle Soup:

4 eggs beaten
8 tablespoons milk
2 teaspoons of salt
4 cups of flour

I use a kitchenaide mixer with the dough attachment and put the eggs, milk and salt in first and mix well.  Slowly add the 4 cups of flour and knead well. 

On a clean, floured surface roll doll out as thin as possible.  First roll will take time to work to the dough.  Let sit 20 minutes.  Flip, roll out again let sit 20 minutes.  Flip, roll out again let sit an hour.  Flip, roll out again and let sit another hour.  Cut with pizza cutter and drop into hot soup.  Noodles should be done in 10-15 minutes depending on how thin you rolled them.  I personally like mine a little fatter, so cook time is closer to 15 for me.
