4 c. flour
1 tsp. salt
2 eggs, beaten
1 c. cold water

Sift flour and salt into a large bowl, add eggs and water. Mix until ingredients can be gathered into a ball. Knead just enough to make dough smooth but still soft. Do not over knead, or dough will become stiff. Divide into 4 equal balls and roll out each ball on a lightly floured surface into a square 14 inches by 1/16 inch thick. Cut with a sharp knife into 3 1/2 inch squares. Cover with a damp cloth if dough must sit a while.

COMMENTARY: Rolling the dough between plastic wraps simplifies the task and makes handling the thin sheets easier. Do this before cutting the sheets into squares.
