• Cook Time: 1 hrs

Ingredients:

Servings: 4

• 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
• 3 eggs
• ice water, as needed for consistency
• 1/8 teaspoon salt (optional)

Directions:

1. For each 1/2 cup of flour, add 1 egg.
2. Have a container with ice water nearby.
3. Slowly add water until almost a loose, rubbery consistency.
4. You may add a pinch of salt if desired.
5. I like to make it at least 1 hour ahead of time and cover it and let it sit.
6. You usually need to add a little more cold water after this.
7. I use 1 1/2 to 2 cups of flour.
8. Run cold water over a dinner size plate.
9. Put the batter on the plate.
10. Cut the batter off the side of the plate with a knife into boiling water.
11. As soon as they come to the top they are done.
12. Don't overcook!
13. Drain in colander.
