  1. Place the flour on the slab, form a hollow in the centre, then put the salt in, with a little water to melt it, and add the yolks of eight eggs; work the whole well together, at first rubbing the ingredients between the hands, and then, if necessary, add two more yolks of eggs, and finish working the paste by pushing it from you with the palms of the hands, using considerable pressure; sprinkle a few drops of water over it, then knead the paste into a ball, and keep it wrapped up in a cloth until wanted for use.
