👨‍🍳 Instructions

1. Combine flour, egg, and a pinch of salt in a bowl, gradually adding water to form a firm dough. Knead until smooth, then cover and let rest for 30 minutes.
2. Divide the dough into smaller portions and roll each thinly on a floured surface, creating large sheets. Allow them to air dry slightly for 15-20 minutes.
3. Fold the slightly dried dough sheets and cut them into thin, short strips, about 1-2 cm wide and 2-3 cm long, to create the erişte noodles.
4. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the erişte noodles and cook for 5-7 minutes until al dente, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
5. While noodles cook, melt the unsalted butter in a small pan until fragrant and slightly browned.
6. Drain the cooked erişte noodles and transfer them to a serving plate. Pour the melted butter over the noodles and crumble the Turkish white cheese on top before serving hot.
