Noodles

Making homemade noodles is ridiculously cheap and easy, although it takes a lot of time.

3/4 Cups Flour

1 egg

~1/2 tsp salt

~1 tbsp water (If dough is too dry, you can add a few drops more)

Mix ingredients together. Let sit for about half an hour.

Put plenty of flour on the table and on the rolling pin. Roll it out with a rolling pin. Cut into noodle shapes with a knife. To make cutting the long noodles go quicker, you can fold the dough in half and then in half again, cut and unfold. It's ok to use plenty of flour. It will just come off in the pot when you boil them.

I put noodles in a single layer to avoid them sticking together.

Boil like you would any noodle, 5-6 minutes. If you get them very thin, you might only need to do 4 minutes. I take just one noodle out when I think they might be done and taste to make sure. I added them to the boiling water one at a time, and stirred them occasionally with a chop stick.
