Tarhonya Keszites

by Kathleen Morrison

Servings:

INGREDIENTS

7 eggs
1 cup water
1 tbsp. salt
2 lb. flour

INSTRUCTIONS

Beat eggs, water and salt. Put the flour into a large mixing bowl. Rub in eggs, little by little. Keep rubbing your open palms until the mix becomes little uneven pieces of dough. Rub through a coarse sieve.

On a tablecloth spread the egg barley in a very thin layer. Dry until hard as a rock, 3 to 4 days, turning a couple times a day.*

CHEF COMMENTS

*I guess that this could be sped up in a dehydrator or convection oven but am not sure.

Tarhonya will keep in a jar or box for years, just as it did for the ancient Hungarians.
