Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 3 Eggs
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 2 tablespoons Water
- 3 tablespoons Butter
- 1 teaspoon Hungarian paprika
- 0.5 cup Sour cream (optional, for serving)
- 2 tablespoons Chopped fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Place all-purpose flour and salt into a large mixing bowl and create a well in the center.
Crack the eggs into the well, add the water, and begin to mix the ingredients together with a fork or your hands until a dough forms.
Transfer the dough to a floured surface and knead for about 8-10 minutes, until the dough is smooth and elastic.
Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and let it rest for 20 minutes at room temperature.
After resting, divide the dough into two portions. Roll each portion out on a floured surface to about 1/8-inch thickness.
Using a sharp knife or a pasta cutter, cut the rolled dough into thin strips (about 1/4-inch wide) to create your noodles.
Boil a large pot of salted water. Cook the noodles for 3-4 minutes or until they float to the surface. Drain and set aside.
In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the cooked noodles and sprinkle them with Hungarian paprika. Stir gently to coat the noodles evenly in the butter and paprika.
Serve the noodles warm, optionally topped with a dollop of sour cream and a sprinkle of fresh parsley.
