Ingredients
Method
- Begin by gathering all your ingredients and ensuring they're at room temperature for best results.
- In a large bowl, combine the flour and salt, then create a well in the center.
- Pour the beaten eggs, milk, and softened butter into the well. Using a fork, gradually incorporate the flour into the wet ingredients, working from the inside out.
- Once the dough becomes too thick for the fork, use your hands to knead it in the bowl until all flour is incorporated.
- Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface and continue kneading for 5-8 minutes until smooth and elastic. The dough should be firm but pliable.
- Cover the dough with a clean kitchen towel and let it rest for 10 minutes to allow the gluten to relax.
- Divide the dough into four equal portions for easier handling. On a generously floured surface, roll each portion into a very thin rectangle, approximately 1/8 inch thick.
- Allow the rolled dough to dry for about 5 minutes on each side. This helps prevent sticking when cutting.
- Carefully roll each dough sheet into a loose cylinder, then use a sharp knife to cut into strips of your desired width (typically 1/4 to 1/2 inch for standard noodles).
- Unroll the cut strips and gently toss them with a little flour to prevent sticking. Spread them out in a single layer to dry for about 15 minutes.
- Meanwhile, bring a large pot of salted water to a rolling boil.
- Add the noodles carefully to the boiling water, stirring gently to prevent sticking. Cook for 3-5 minutes until tender but still slightly firm (al dente).
- Drain the noodles in a colander, then either toss with butter or add directly to your favorite soup or sauce.
