Egg Noodles III

Ingredients

• 1 whole egg
• 1 cup flour
• 2–6 tablespoons water

Steps

1. On a smooth surface, heap the flour.
2. Push a hole in the center of the flour (it should look like a volcano).
3. Break the egg into the flour.
4. Add the oil now if you choose to do so—it will change the flavor and texture.
5. Begin kneading with hands or mixing with a fork.
6. Slowly add water one teaspoon at a time while kneading the dough.
7. You probably will not need all six tablespoons of water (though you may possibly need more).
8. Knead the dough until it has a consistent texture.
9. Shape the noodles through one of the following methods:
10. Divide the dough into manageable sections.
11. Select one section at a time.
12. Keep the rest covered.
13. Roll each section to desired thickness.
14. Cut into noodles with a knife.
15. Divide the dough into manageable sections.
16. Select one section at a time.
17. Keep the rest covered.
18. Roll the dough through smooth rollers repeatedly at progressively thinner settings.
19. When the dough reaches desired thickness, cut with grooved rollers.
