Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 2 pieces Large eggs
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 2 tablespoons Water (if needed)
- 2 tablespoons Butter (for serving, optional)
Instructions
In a large bowl, mix the all-purpose flour and salt.
Make a well in the center of the flour mixture and crack the eggs into the well.
Using a fork, beat the eggs lightly, then gradually incorporate the flour from the edges of the well until the dough starts to come together.
If the dough seems too dry, add 1 to 2 tablespoons of water, a little at a time, until the dough holds together but is not sticky.
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 8–10 minutes, until smooth and elastic.
Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and let it rest for at least 20 minutes at room temperature.
After resting, divide the dough into two portions for easier handling.
Roll out one portion of the dough on a floured surface into a thin sheet, approximately 1/8 inch thick or thinner, depending on your preference.
Using a sharp knife or a pizza cutter, slice the dough into thin strips for noodles. Aim for uniform width for even cooking.
Repeat the rolling and cutting process with the second portion of dough.
Allow the noodles to dry slightly on a floured surface for 10–20 minutes before cooking.
To cook the noodles, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Gently add the noodles and cook for 2–4 minutes, or until tender.
Drain the noodles and, if desired, toss them with melted butter before serving.
