Noodles

8 servings

Ingredients

• 4 pcs Eggs (whole)
• 8 tbsp Milk
• Fine flour (as needed)

Instructions

1. Portion for 8 to 10 people.
2. You will need 4 whole eggs, 8 tablespoons of milk, and as much fine flour as the milk absorbs.
3. Put the flour into a bowl, make a well in the center, add eggs and milk, and mix with a knife to form a dough.
4. Place this on a baking board and, continuously adding flour, work it with your hands into a smooth, very firm dough.
5. Divide the dough into four pieces, roll each one as thin as paper in both directions, and hang over a transversely placed stick to dry.
6. Once the fourth piece is rolled out, place the first one back on the table, dust with a little flour, cut crosswise, stack the pieces, loosely roll them up, and cut into straw-width strips with a knife.
7. Pull the strips apart, sprinkling a little flour over them, and let them dry; however, you can also use them immediately.

Modernized from a treasured 19th-century German cookbook.
