Noodle Dough ~ How to make egg noodles

* caution required if the weather is damp
2/3 cup of all-purpose flour
1 egg
1 tbls water
1/2 tsp salt
1 tsp oil

In a pastry board or a piece of marble, form a well with the flour.  In it put the egg,
lightly combined with the remaining ingredients.  Work the mixture with your
hands, folding over the egg until the dough can be rolled into a ball.  It should
come clean from your hands.  Depending on humidity you may be required to add
a liitle more flour.

Knead the dough as for tortillas or bread, for about 10 minutes.  Let it stand
covered for about 1 hour.  Roll out the dough until it is very thin.  (this requires
rolling the dough over and over.)
