Description

These authentic Hungarian soup noodles, known as Laskateszta, are a staple in Eastern European kitchens. Made with just flour, eggs, and salt, they offer a delicate yet satisfying chew that holds up beautifully in broth. The simplicity of the ingredients allows the fresh egg flavor to shine through, providing a comforting richness to any pot of goulash or chicken soup. This recipe is perfect for meal prepping, as the noodles cook quickly and freeze well. Whether you are making a family-style stew or a light vegetable broth, these hand-cut noodles add a homemade touch that elevates the entire dish. They are easy to make from scratch and far superior to store-bought alternatives, offering a tender texture that melts in your mouth.

Ingredients

Directions

  1. In a mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour and the pinch of salt.
  2. Create a well in the center of the flour and crack the egg into it.
  3. Gradually incorporate the flour into the egg, kneading until a hard, smooth dough forms.
  4. Roll the dough out on a floured surface until it is paper-thin.
  5. Cut the rolled dough into thin strips resembling vermicelli noodles.
  6. Bring 3 quarts of water and 2 tablespoons of salt to a rolling boil in a large pot.
  7. Add the cut noodles to the boiling water and cook for 3 minutes, or until tender.
  8. Drain the noodles in a colander and rinse immediately with cold water to stop the cooking process.
