Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 300 grams All-purpose flour
- 3 Large eggs
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 tablespoon Water (optional, if needed)
- 50 grams Flour (for dusting)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour and salt.
Make a well in the center of the flour and crack the eggs into it.
Using a fork or your fingers, gently mix the eggs into the flour, gradually incorporating the flour until the dough begins to come together.
Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and knead it for about 8-10 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic. If the dough feels too dry, add a small amount of water (1 tablespoon at a time).
Wrap the dough in plastic wrap or cover with a clean kitchen towel and let it rest for 20-30 minutes.
Divide the rested dough into 2 or 3 smaller portions to make it easier to work with.
Roll out one portion of dough on a lightly floured surface, aiming for a thin sheet about 1-2 mm in thickness. Repeat with the remaining portions.
Lightly flour the rolled-out dough sheets to prevent sticking, then roll each sheet loosely into a log.
Using a sharp knife, slice the rolled dough into thin strips to create noodles of your preferred width. Unroll the strips and separate them slightly to avoid sticking.
Dust the cut noodles with additional flour and let them dry for about 15-20 minutes.
To cook the noodles, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the noodles and cook for 3-5 minutes or until they are tender but still slightly firm.
Drain the noodles and serve immediately with your favorite sauce, broth, or as a side dish to a hearty Russian meal.
