Recipe for buckwheat noodles

Make buckwheat noodles at home is quite simple. The equipment that you need for this is a board, a rolling pin and a knife. But for rolling and cutting the dough, it's more convenient to use special machines. They are called noodles.

Note! With this tool, you make the dough fairly thin and cut it with the same strips!

Ingredients:

• 450 g of buckwheat flour;
• 150 g of wheat flour;
• 270 ml of water.

In a large bowl or simply on a cutting board we sift buckwheat and wheat flour, mix and, adding small portions of water, we begin to knead the dough. Once you feel that it has become dense and pliable, enough water.

Note! Water may need slightly more or less than indicated in the recipe!

We continue to knead the dough until all the air bubbles come out of it. To do this, you can throw it on the board several times. The total mixing time is about 10 minutes.

When the dough is ready, put it in a bowl and leave it for about a quarter of an hour, so that it "rests" a bit. After the specified time, we pluck from the total amount of it a small piece with a child's cam, make a ball out of it and roll it into a thin layer - it should turn out to be almost transparent. We cut the obtained layer into noodles. Sprinkle with flour.

Note! In this form, buckwheat noodles can be stored in the refrigerator for about five days!

In the saucepan, bring the water to a boil, add some salt to it and let down the noodles. Cook until ready, then put in a colander, add a little oil and mix.
