Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tablespoon milk
- 1 tablespoon butter, melted
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour and salt. Make a well in the center and add the eggs, milk, and melted butter.
- Stir the wet ingredients into the flour with a fork until a shaggy dough forms. Knead by hand on a floured surface for about 8–10 minutes, until the dough is smooth and elastic.
- Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and let it rest at room temperature for 30 minutes.
- Roll the dough out on a floured surface to about 1/8-inch thickness (or thinner, if preferred). Cut into strips using a sharp knife or pizza cutter.
- Bring a large pot of salted water or broth to a boil. Add the noodles and cook for 2–4 minutes until tender.
- Drain and serve immediately with your favorite sauce, butter, or in soups.
Notes
- You can dry the noodles on a clean towel for an hour before cooking if you prefer a slightly firmer texture.
- Store uncooked noodles in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days, or freeze them for longer storage.
- Customize the thickness and width to your preference — thinner for soups, thicker for hearty meals!
