Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 2 cups flour
- 1 egg
- 2 egg yolks
Liquid Ingredients:
- 3 tablespoons (45 milliliters) cold water
Seasoning:
- 1 teaspoon (5 grams) salt
Instructions
- Whisk eggs vigorously in a mixing bowl until they develop a light, airy texture and slight frothiness.
- Gradually incorporate cold water and salt into the whisked eggs, then slowly fold in flour until a cohesive dough forms.
- Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for 5-7 minutes, ensuring a smooth and elastic consistency.
- Using a rolling pin, stretch the dough into a thin sheet approximately 1/8 inch thick, maintaining an even surface.
- Dust the rolled dough with flour to prevent sticking, then carefully slice into uniform strips using a pizza cutter or sharp knife.
- For storage, place noodles on a parchment-lined tray and refrigerate for up to 3 days or transfer to a freezer-safe container for 1-2 months.
- When ready to cook, bring a large pot of salted water to a rolling boil and gently add noodles, cooking for 7-9 minutes until they float and reach desired tenderness.
- Drain noodles and serve immediately as a side dish or incorporate into soups, stews, or casseroles for a homemade touch.
Notes
- Add a pinch of turmeric or paprika to the dough for a vibrant color and subtle flavor boost.
- Ensure your workspace is well-floured to prevent sticking and make rolling easier.
- For gluten-free version, substitute all-purpose flour with a blend of rice and almond flour.
- Rest the dough for 15-20 minutes before rolling to improve elasticity and make cutting smoother.
