(Noodles)
1 egg. Flour. 1/4 teaspoonful of salt.
Break an egg into a cup, add the salt and quickly stir in flour with a spoon until no more can be easily added. Turn on to a floured board and add flour until the mixture is of a consistency to roll out. Divide the dough into three pieces and roll each thinner, if possible, than paper; cut into squares or strips and fry an instant in hot fat. They should be a very delicate brown. Sprinkle with powdered sugar and serve at once. Two people, one to fry and one to sprinkle with sugar, are needed to prepare this dish, as everything depends upon quick work. If a larger number of "flirts" be required than is provided in the recipe, do not double the recipe, mix again. Use but one egg at a time. This in reality is noodle paste.
