I make home made noodles all the time just like marge954 is talking about. I use four, salt & eggs only. after rolling the it out, I heavely sprinkle it with the flour & roll it into a log. I then cut the log into 1/2 " sections. I then unroll them over the broth, letting the flour drop into broth, & drop the noodles in. The flour is what makes the broth thicken & they are yummy. I not only use beef, but chicken & turkey also.
