Ingredients

Instructions

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