salt
1/8 teaspoon (none)
eggs
2 (beaten)
milk
1/2 cup (almost room temperature)
soft butter

Instructions
1
In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour and salt evenly.
2
Create a well in the center and add the beaten eggs, milk, and soft butter.
3
Mix the ingredients with a fork or wooden spoon until they start to come together, then knead the dough by hand or in a stand mixer for about 3-5 minutes until smooth and elastic.
4
Cover the dough with a clean tea towel and let it rest for 10 minutes to relax the gluten.
5
Flour your work surface lightly to prevent sticking, and then place the rested dough on it.
6
Roll the dough out with a lightly-floured rolling pin, aiming for a thickness of about 1/8 inch or as thin as possible without tearing.
7
Use a pizza cutter or sharp knife to slice the dough into strips of your desired width, typically about 1/2 inch.
8
Allow the freshly cut noodles to air dry on the counter, uncovered, for about 25-30 minutes, or until they are no longer sticky to the touch.
9
If not using immediately, toss the noodles with a small amount of flour to prevent sticking, then store them covered in the refrigerator until ready for use. Fresh noodles will cook in a fraction of the time compared to dried noodles.
