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, knead the dough until it's soft
roll the dough in a ball, cover with plastic wrap, refrigerate 30 minutes
To Roll Out Using a Rolling Pin:
dust a clean countertop with a little flour
divide the dough into 4 parts, cover three with a damp paper towel while working with one ball
hand flatten one dough ball
dust your rolling pin with flour then roll the dough out until it's your desired thickness
dust the cut noodles with flour and set aside
To Roll Out By a Stand-Alone Machine:
simply follow the manufacturer's directions
divide the dough into 4 parts, cover three with a damp paper towel while working with one ball
roll big sheets first, start thick and roll them thinner
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, dust with flour to keep it from sticking
roll out in long sheets, start thick and make them thinner
dust the sheet with flour, set it aside
repeat with remaining dough
use the cutting tool on your mixer if you have one or cut by hand
cut the noodles with a pizza wheel or paring knife if doing it by hand, dust the cut noodles with flour to prevent them from sticking to each other
for best results let the cut noodles rest for at least 15 minutes before cooking
bring your pot of soup to a high simmer, take handfuls of fresh noodles, shake off the flour, add the noodles to the soup, stir after each addition of noodles
cook stirring occasionally for 8-12 minutes, start checking for doneness at the five minute mark by tasting a noodle if it's uncooked you'll know it because it will taste like raw flour and feel weird in your mouth, a cooked noodle will taste delicious, and be soft
remember noodles rolled out very thin, and cut thinly may be done in as little as 5 minutes or even sooner so start checking as early as you need to so you avoid over cooking your noodles
