Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 3 large Eggs
- 2 tablespoons Water
- 1 tablespoon Butter or neutral oil (for serving, optional)
Instructions
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the flour and salt until well combined.
Make a well in the center of the flour mixture and crack the eggs into the well. Add the water.
Using a fork, gently beat the eggs and water together, gradually incorporating the flour from the edges until a rough dough begins to form.
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead it for 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic. If the dough is too sticky, add a small amount of flour, one tablespoon at a time.
Wrap the dough tightly in plastic wrap or cover with a damp towel and let it rest for 30 minutes at room temperature. This allows the gluten to relax, making it easier to roll out.
After resting, divide the dough into two portions. Roll out one portion at a time on a floured surface to your desired thickness (thin for soups, thick for heartier dishes). Use a sharp knife or a pizza cutter to slice the dough into noodles of your preferred width.
Lay the cut noodles on a clean towel or baking sheet dusted with flour to prevent sticking. Repeat with the second portion of dough.
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the noodles and cook for 2 to 4 minutes (depending on thickness) until tender but firm to the bite.
Drain the noodles and toss with butter or oil if desired. Serve immediately as part of your favorite recipe or enjoy plain.
