Noodlins (German fashion)

Ingredients

• Two eggs
• one quarter pound flour
• one half tea-spoonful salt
• two ounces butter

Method

1. 1

   Mix well in a bowl the flour and salt, moisten them with the eggs, turn all out on a board and knead well together, adding more flour if necessary.

2. 2

   When stiff enough to roll out, flour the board well, and roll out the dough very thinly.

3. 3

   Allow the dough to lie on the board until firm; but do not let it lie long enough to get hard.

4. 4

   Flour it then well and roll it up.

5. 5

   Cut some strips from the roll, about the third of an inch in thickness.

6. 6

   Boil these strips for fifteen minutes.

7. 7

   While they are boiling, melt the butter in a frying-pan; when it smokes, throw in the narrow strips, and allow them to take a pale brown colour.

8. 8

   When both are ready, drain the boiled strips quickly on a sieve, and pile them on a hot dish.
