Ingredients
- 4 egg yolks
- fine dry sifted flour
Instructions
- Wet the egg yolks with sifted flour, mixing until you have a firm but very smooth paste.
- Roll the paste out as thin as possible.
- Cut it into bands about an inch and a quarter in width.
- Dust the bands lightly with flour and stack four of them one upon the other.
- Cut them obliquely into the finest possible strips, separating them with the point of a knife.
- Spread them on writing paper so they may dry a little before use.
- Drop them gradually into boiling soup.
- Cook for about ten minutes until done.
