I made homemade noodles the other night and all i could taste was flower...what did i do wrong?

They looked the way they should and felt fine, but being a first time noodle maker they ended up smelling and taseting like flower more than anything.....can anyone help. My Mother in Law makes the best chicken noodle soup and i want to make just the soup part.....how do i do this?

Maybe too much flour if this has happened to you---


Essentials of Classic Italian Cooking (Canada, UK), Marcella Hazan recommends 1 cup of unbleached all-purpose flour for every 2 large eggs. You may need to vary that up or down, depending on the eggs’ ability to absorb the flour. But try to be conservative. It is possible that the increased humidity in your kitchen that comes with warmer weather is coaxing you to add more flour to compensate for extra moisture in the dough. Fight the urge to add flour, and try to keep your dough a little bit on the sticky side rather than dry.
Reply:Did you cook them at least 20 min.? Homemade noodles seem done sooner than dried ones, but if you don't cook them long enough they will taste starchy.
