Kilkje
Makes:
9 Servings
Ingredients
7 cups Flour* + dusting
1 tbsp salt
7 eggs
1 cup Milk
Preparation
• In a Stand Mixer Bowl or a large bowl to mix by hand; add milk, eggs, and salt mix until well combined
• Next, add 1 cup of flour and knead in until completely combined before adding more flour.
• Continue adding the rest of the Flour, 1/2 Cup at a time.
*Incorporating the Flour slowly is important, and the amount depends on your measuring. 1 cup of flour should weigh 120g. A hard packed cup of flour can weigh up to 200g.
• Knead for 10 minutes after all flour is incorporated.
• Cover and rest for a minimum of 1 hour or place in the Refrigerator over night.
*If refrigerated; bring to the temperature before making pasta.
• Cut dough into smaller pieces and work with one piece at a time.
• With a pasta maker, start with the thickest setting and roll through, dusting with flour to prevent sticking.
• Roll through 4 times on each # of setting until desired thickness for noodles is achieved. Dust with flour on each setting.
*My setting for Kilkje noodle thickness is #5
• Next Roll the Dough through the Pasta attachment.
• Hang or lay on Table to dry 1/2 Hour before cooking.
* Make sure to separate noodles to avoid sticking during cooking.
• Bring a pot of water to a boil, add the desired amount of noodles, return to a boil, and stirring occasionally. Once boiling drain noodles from water, rinse with cold water.
Enjoy with cream gravy, fried onions, sweet pickles, and fried farmer sausage
Storing: Let the noodles dry for a few hours before storing in an airtight container for freezing.
