Makes about 6 ounces of noodles

1 beaten egg

2 tablespoons milk

½ teaspoon salt

1 cup (120g) all-purpose flour

1. Mix the ingredients together to form a stiff dough.

2. Put some flour on a wooden board and knead the dough for about 5 minutes, until the dough is very smooth.

3. Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and let it rest for 20 minutes.

4. While the dough is resting, scrape away bits of dough left on the board.

5. After the 20 minute rest, unwrap and knead again for about 1 minute.

6. Put some flour on the board. Put the dough on the flour and press down into a disk. Start rolling the dough with a rolling pin, turning the dough now and then. When you turn the dough, you can pick it up and let it hang down to help it stretch out. It takes a while, but keep rolling and stretching until the dough is as thin as you can get it.

7. Put the dough on a kitchen towel and let it hang over the edge of a table. Let the dough dry for 20 – 25 minutes.

8. With a sharp knife, slice the dough into your desired width and lay the noodles over towels on a broom handle to dry.

9. Let the noodles dry for 2 hours. They’re then ready to use, or they can be stored in an airtight container.

10. Cook in soup or in a large amount of salted boiling water for 10 minutes, or until done.
