2 cups flour
3 eggs, slightly beaten
1 teaspoon salt
Mix flour and salt. Make a well in flour and put eggs in well. With a fork, stir eggs into flour salt mixture until eggs are absorbed. All the flour may not be used. Put unused flour mixture on board. Knead egg mixture well. Roll on a well-floured board until very thin. Cut in pieces about two or three inches wide. Stack pieces on top of each other, with flour between layers. Cut stack crosswise no more than half an inch thick. Toss noodles with flour and leave on board to dry.
