Serves 4.

1 cupflour
1⁄2 tspsalt
1⁄2 cupmilk
1egg

Bring a wide pan of salted water to a boil.

Combine the dry ingredients in a bowl. Add the milk and egg and mix into a batter. Turn the batter onto a cutting board.

With a sharp knife, shave ribbons of batter off the board into the boiling water. When the noodles float, use a slotted spoon to remove them to drain (e.g. in a colander or on paper towels).

They are ready to serve.
