Ingredients

  • 1 cup flour
  • ½ tsp. salt
  • 2 eggs beaten

Instructions

  • In a mixing bowl, stir together the flour and salt.
  • Make a well in the middle and add the eggs.
  • Start mixing the flour into the eggs (use a fork for this) and keep incorporating more of the flour into the dough until it forms a ball; it will be sticky but should stick together.
  • Turn out dough ball onto a floured surface and keep adding in more of the flour, kneading as you go.
  • You want the dough to be smooth and no longer sticky, but not too dry.
  • Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.
  • (Many times I’ve been in a hurry and don’t chill my dough and I don’t seem to have problems.
  • If you’re going to stint due to time constraints, better to stint here than forgo the drying time after the noodles are cut.
  • )
  • Remove the chilled dough, place it back on the floured work surface, and cut into two pieces.
  • Working with one half at a time and keeping the other half wrapped, roll out the dough as thin as you desire, and then cut the dough into noodles.
  • Let the noodles sit on a drying rack for about 30 minutes or so until ready to cook.
  • To cook the noodles, bring a large pot of salted water to a good boil.
  • Drop in the noodles and cook until done, stirring occasionally.
  • The boiling time will vary, but you can figure somewhere between 5 and 10 minutes, depending on how thick the noodles are.
