  • In a large bowl, combine 2 cups flour and salt. Set aside.
  • In a small bowl, whisk the eggs. Add the eggs, milk and butter to the flour mixture. Stir with a fork to combine the ingredients and when a dough begins to form, use your hands to mix.
  • Knead the dough on a lightly floured work surface, adding more flour a little at a time if it is too sticky. Continue kneading for about 5 minutes or until you obtain a smooth dough. Wrap the dough in cling film and leave to rest at room temperature for 20 minutes.
  • Using the remaining flour, generously flour your work surface. Roll the dough into a long rectangle about ⅛ inch thick (if desired, divide the dough in half and roll out in batches to make it easier to handle). Cut into strips with a cutter or knife and dust with flour.
  • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.
  • Add the noodles and cook for 3 minutes or until cooked through. Serve with butter or your favorite sauce.

Leftover egg noodles can be stored in the refrigerator in an airtight container for up to 3-4 days.
