Ingredients:

  • 1 egg
  • 1 tbsp water
  • 1 cup flour
  • 1/4 tsp salt

Directions:

  1. Beat the egg slightly and combine with the remaining ingredients to make a stiff dough.
  2. Knead on a lightly floured board until the dough is smooth.
  3. Cover and let it stand for 30 minutes.
  4. Roll to almost paper-thinness and allow it to dry partially.
  5. Turn the dough over in order to dry the other side slightly.
  6. It must neither be sticky nor dry and brittle.
  7. Fold into a roll or cut into 3 inch strips.
  8. Stack the strips on top of each other.
  9. Cut the roll or the strips crosswise into fine shreds.
  10. Separate the shreds by tossing them lightly with the fingers.
  11. Spread them out to dry.
  12. The noodles may be used at once or dried thoroughly, and then stored in a covered container for future use.
  13. When ready to use, drop the noodles into a large quantity of boiling salted water, stir, and cook for about 8 minutes.
  14. The cooking period will depend on the size of the noodles.
  15. Strain over a colander or sieve, and then rinse with cold water to prevent sticking.
  16. Use as desired.
  17. BROAD OR SQUARE LOKSHNA: Follow the preceding recipe for Lokshyna.

  24. Add some melted butter or bacon fat and mix lightly.
  25. Mix in some fresh cottage cheese and season to taste with salt.
  26. Top with chopped crisp bacon or salt pork.
  27. Keep it hot until ready to serve.
  28. LOKSHYNA WITH EGGS: Follow the preceding recipe, but instead of the cheese use lightly beaten eggs.
