Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 3 large Eggs
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 2 tablespoons Water
- 1 teaspoon Vegetable oil
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour and salt.
Make a well in the center of the flour mixture and crack in the eggs.
Add the water and vegetable oil into the well.
Using a fork, whisk the eggs and liquids together gradually incorporating the flour until a shaggy dough forms.
Transfer the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 8-10 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic.
Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and let it rest at room temperature for 20 minutes.
After resting, divide the dough into 4 equal sections for easier handling.
On a floured surface, roll out each section thinly (1/16 inch thick) using a rolling pin.
Allow the rolled-out dough sheets to slightly dry for 5-10 minutes, flipping once midway to prevent sticking.
Using a sharp knife or pasta cutter, slice the dough into thin, even strips to form noodles.
Dust the noodles lightly with flour to prevent clumping.
To cook the noodles, bring a large pot of salted water to a rolling boil and add the noodles.
Boil for 3-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the noodles are tender but still firm to the bite.
Drain the noodles and serve immediately, or toss with butter to prevent sticking if storing for later use.
