Ingredients

2 1/3 cup all purpose flour
1 teaspoon salt
2 eggs
1/3 cup water
1 teaspoon oil

Instructions

mix the flour and salt together
make a well in the center drop in the eggs, water, and oil
stir until a dough forms
knead 1 minute by machine, or 5 minutes by hand
roll the dough in a ball, cover with plastic wrap, refrigerate 30 minutes
To Roll Out By a Stand-Alone Machine: simply follow the manufacturer's directions, divide the dough in 4 pieces-you'll roll big sheets first and then you can cut by hand or if your machine has blades you can machine cut the noodles as well, dust with flour as needed
To Roll Out Using a Mixer Attachment: it's really the same process divide the dough, use flour to keep it from sticking, roll out in long sheets, I roll on setting one first several times, then roll on setting two, from here I dust the sheet with flour, set it aside, a roll the other sheets, I prefer to hand cut the noodles so that's what I do, you can use the cutting tool on your mixer if you have one
To Roll Out Using a Rolling Pin: dust a clean countertop with a little flour, divide the dough into 4 parts, hand flatten each ball and then roll until it's your desired thickness, dust the cut noodles with flour and set aside
Once the noodles are rolled out you can let them dry a bit until you need them OR you can drop them in a simmering soup
once in a simmering pot of water or soup let them cook a few minutes, and then pull one out and see if it's soft all the way through or if it's still a little hard inside, continue cooking and tasting until you like the way they taste and feel (no longer sort of hard in the middle)
