Milk Noodles

4 servings

Ingredients

• Noodles (according to basic recipe) (as needed)
• Salt (a little)
• Milk (as needed)
• Butter (a generous piece)
• Zwieback (crushed, browned in butter) (as needed)

Instructions

1. Place the noodles, prepared according to the basic recipe, into boiling salted water and cook until tender, about 30 to 45 minutes, then drain in a colander.
2. Bring milk to a boil with a generous piece of fresh butter and a little salt.
3. Add the noodles and let them simmer in the milk for a few minutes.
4. When serving, sprinkle enough crushed zwieback, pan-fried until golden brown in butter, over the noodles to completely cover them.
