Gluten flours are quite pricey and definitely were a challenge to find with in our grocery budget. how ever we did find a great all purpose gluten free flour at Costco. We could purchase a 5 lb bag of Namaste Perfect Blend for under $10, YAY! So The night before Thanksgiving, equipped with Namaste and eggs my attempt to reinvent my family tradition commenced.
Here is the recipe:
- Start with 2 cups of Namaste Perfect Blend flour poured directly onto a clean counter top or pastry mat.
- Sprinkle in 1 Tsp of salt
- Create a mound with the flour and hollow the center; add 3 egg yokes and 1 whole egg to the center and begin to mix eggs in with your hands kneading the dough. (You may need to add small amounts of flour if your dough is sticky or water 1 Tsp at a time if it is too dry)
- Divide the dough into fist size balls and roll out until it is 1/8" thick. Slice 1/4" strips with a butter knife, and repeat with the remainder of the dough.
- Then cover the noodles is a light dusting of flour by tossing them randomly with excess flour. (Can't leave out the really fun part!)
- Let the noodles air dry over night and cook them the following day in broth and turkey drippings.
